The medical center’s cardiac catheterization team continues to exceed the national average door-to-balloon time, which is the time it takes to get a patient from the emergency department to cardiac catheterization.

The Center for Bariatric Surgery, with a location at Perth Amboy, is one of the most successful weight loss surgery programs in New Jersey.

Highly experienced in successful weight loss strategies and surgery, the program offers a range of less-invasive laparoscopic procedures including gastric sleeve, gastric banding and gastric bypass.
