Research & Education
Across the country, people turn to teaching hospitals every day for specialized surgeries, life-saving care, and complex treatments.
Academic medical centers are where medical knowledge continuously evolves and new cures and treatments are found. They are also the training ground for tomorrow's physicians.
Meridian upholds a mission of training the next generation of health care professionals. Tomorrow's physicians must understand how to incorporate patients into decision-making. They need to know how to relate to diverse cultures. They also need a business mind so they can understand how to work within the complexities of insurers.
K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital at Jersey Shore University Medical Center is the academic hub of the Meridian Pediatric Network. With the support of Riverview Medical Center and Ocean Medical Center, pediatricians are actively researching ways to improve pediatric care and offering the latest treatment options.
As a patient of the Meridian Pediatric Network, you'll benefit from multi-disciplinary collaboration among physicians. You'll have access to the most advanced diagnostic and treatment options and a full network of compassionate caregivers each step of the way.
