Ms. Schwartz has served as president of Atlantic Health Overlook Medical Center since 2021, leading the 513-bed hospital through multiple phases of an ongoing plan that has transformed more than 80% of its patient care areas to date. A highlight is the East Building, a three-story expansion providing updated spaces for maternity care, cardiology, critical care and neuroscience. The hospital is home to the Atlantic Neuroscience Institute, a national leader in spine and neuroscience care that was named the first comprehensive stroke center in New Jersey and was the first in the nation to offer telestroke in an ambulance. Ms. Schwartz joined Morristown, N.J.-based Atlantic Health in 2016 as president of Atlantic Health Chilton Medical Center in Pequannock, N.J., and in 2026 she was named interim president at Chilton in addition to her duties at Overlook Medical Center. Under her leadership, Overlook Medical Center achieved Magnet with Distinction recognition in April 2025 from the American Nurses Credentialing Center, an honor only 58 hospitals in the country have achieved, and it has held an “A” grade from the Leapfrog Group since spring 2021. She was the 2024 recipient of the “Distinguished Service Award” from the American College of Healthcare Executives.
