Our Mission
Here on our 15-acre campus overlooking New York Harbor and Liberty State Park, we’re proud to be the largest provider of health care services in Hudson County – with more than 18,000 admissions and 80,000+ ED visits annually. As a 316-bed, not-for-profit, acute care facility and Magnet hospital, we’re guided by our Four Pillars – Patient Safety, Clinical Quality, Satisfaction and Economic Health – and driven to enhance the lives of people across our community through advanced care that treats them with compassion and dignity. Our behavioral health programs and community-oriented services also reinforce this commitment.
We achieve this on multiple levels. As a teaching hospital with affiliated programs at Mount Sinai, we offer the comprehensive, advanced services necessary to treat a diversity of medical cases you simply won’t find anywhere else. Balancing state-of-the-art technology with a warm, empathetic approach, we place great emphasis on the idea of caring for patients as an entire person — going above and beyond the practice of exceptional medicine to realize our mission of “Enhancing Life.”
Our vision is to achieve the top ten percentile in our pillars of:
