Treatment
Whether we are treating your child for a chronic condition or an unseen emergency, our hospitals provide, nursing staffs that are nine-time Magnet Recognized for outstanding care, and child-friendly facilities for any diagnosis.
In the event that your child comes to us with a traumatic injury, from a fall or car accident for instance, the Jersey Shore Regional Trauma Center is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week with surgeons and resources needed to increase the chances of survival from serious injuries. It is the only Trauma Center in Monmouth and Ocean counties.
Regardless of whether you have brought your child to the hospital for treatment of a chronic condition or an emergency, surgeons from a spectrum of specialties —including the most experienced general surgeon in the region —are ready. From urology to orthopedics, ear, nose and throat to neurosurgery, Meridian is proud to be advancing pediatric surgical care at the Jersey Shore.
When recovery from more serious injuries or illnesses, intensive care for our youngest patients is also available:
Pediatric Intensive Care Unit – K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital is the only hospital in the area with dedicated space, monitoring equipment, and board certified pediatric intensivists all day, every day, to provide complex care from respiratory failure to surgical recovery to neurological conditions and trauma.
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit – K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital is one of a select group of state-designated Level III neonatal intensive care units in New Jersey, equipped with the most advanced technologies and leading neonatologists.
