Message to the Community

As we enter the holiday season, I am pleased to
look back over the past year and be thankful
for all that we’ve accomplished at Meridian
Health. Countless hours were spent with patients and
their loved ones, as well as with members of the community
through screenings and educational seminars
— the commitment of the team members who make
up Meridian Health remains steadfast.
Whether we’re treating a patient in medical crisis,
researching the latest procedure, participating in
a clinical trial, or keeping the hospital open during
a time of increased economic pressure, the strength
of our organization stems from a solid foundation
of compassionate, caring individuals. In addition to
a committed staff, the success of Meridian Health
is derived from the more than 3,000 volunteers
who give their time each week at each of our four
hospitals: Jersey Shore University Medical Center,
K. Hovnanian Children’s Hospital, Ocean Medical
Center, and Riverview Medical Center.
As we begin this festive time of year, I would like
to wish all of you a very happy and healthy holiday
season. At Meridian Health, we remain committed
to improving the health status of our community
and taking care of New Jersey.
Sincerely,

John K. Lloyd, FACHE
President, Meridian Health
