President’s Message

St. Joseph’s Health…
Extraordinary Care. Remarkable People.

As one of New Jersey’s leading health systems, our patients are at the center of everything we do at St. Joseph’s Health.

Founded by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth in 1867, St. Joseph’s stands on a proud history and unwavering commitment to its mission and values.  Over the decades, our organization has been a driving force in our surrounding communities, helping families celebrate some of life’s greatest moments - and overcome some of life’s most difficult challenges.

At the heart of our health system are two award-winning medical centers and a new state-of-the-art outpatient campus.  The system is further supported by a network of outstanding physicians and a host of imaging, physical therapy and urgent care centers located across northern New Jersey.  Our clinical services and programs are consistently recognized and ranked among the best in New Jersey and across the region. We have earned the American Nurses Credentialing Center Magnet designation six times, putting us in the top 1% of hospitals across the U.S. This designation recognizes our extraordinary nursing division and demonstrates our ongoing commitment to providing outstanding care to you and your family.

But above all else, St. Joseph’s Health is known far and wide for its amazing culture, shaped by its remarkable people.  We embrace a deep sense of respect and commitment for each and every person that places their confidence in our care.

Thank you for choosing us for your healthcare needs.
