The 513-bed Overlook Medical Center is part of Morristown, N.J.-based Atlantic Health System. The medical center houses the Atlantic Neuroscience Institute, which is at the forefront of spine and neuroscience care, research and clinical trials and is pioneering the use of vaccines to treat brain tumors. The first comprehensive stroke center in the state, Overlook offers a broad range of advanced neurological, neurosurgical and neurodiagnostic services, including a neuroscience intensive care unit, level IV comprehensive epilepsy center and the state’s only helipad dedicated to emergency stroke and neurosurgical patient transport. The cancer center at Overlook has earned the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer’s Outstanding Achievement Award and is designated a best practice hospital by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers. In addition, Overlook provides vascular care, including advanced cardiac imaging, cardiac catheterization, elective PCI and minimally invasive procedures. It is also among a select group of hospitals licensed for primary angioplasty. Overlook’s Union Campus, a multispecialty medical complex, provides outpatient services including an ambulatory surgical center, imaging, infusion, oncology, nephrology, rehabilitation, laboratory services, primary care, and a satellite emergency department. At the beginning of 2024, Overlook opened a specialized unit that takes behavioral emergency patients out of the emergency department for quicker care, lessening volumes and wait times in the emergency department and reducing the need for inpatient hospitalization. Overlook is also in the midst of modernizing its maternity center, working on access and overcoming disparities in maternal healthcare.
