Meridian Health

Jersey Shore University Medical Center, K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital, Ocean Medical Center, and Riverview Medical Center have an online scheduling service through our Central Access department for patients to make appointments from home, at their convenience. 

Central Access assists in scheduling appointments for a number of services. Additionally, if you want to pre-register for that service at the same time, or pre-register for another scheduled service, the Central Access team can do that for you as well.
