The hospital’s 2,400 employees, 450 physicians, and 200 volunteers and Auxilians provide superior care.

Description:
Trinitas Regional Medical Center offers expertise in a number of specialized Centers of Excellence that include: Behavioral Health & Psychiatry, Cancer Care, Cardiology, Diabetes Management/Wound Healing, Maternal and Child Health, Renal Services, Senior Services, Sleep Disorders and Women's Services. The Trinitas School of Nursing currently enrolls over 1,800 students in its full and part-time programs and is the second largest Nursing School in the Nation.

Recently, Trinitas Regional Medical Centerl dedicated the Trinitas Comprehensive Cancer Center, a $28 million, five-story building on the Hospital’s main campus that houses state-of-the-art Medical and Radiation Oncology programs, the latest equipment and a full range of support services. Offering an award-winning environment designed for comfort and healing, the Center was the first in New Jersey to offer the highly advanced Trilogy system for image-guided radiation therapy. Board certified physicians, nurses and allied health professionals are passionate in their fight against cancer and their mission to provide excellent patient care. The medical oncology treatment area and infusion center includes 15 first-class private infusion rooms. Licensed state-of-the-art laboratory and pharmacy services are all located on-site. With an interior design reminiscent of a fine hotel, the Trinitas Comprehensive Cancer Center offers patients and their companions a supportive and healing atmosphere. The Center's professional services also include nutritional, psychosocial, pain management, integrative therapy services and clinical trials.

Another recent development was Trinitas Regional Medical Center's approval by the NJ State Health Planning Board to begin offering elective angioplasty procedures as part of the three-year study known as the Atlantic C-PORT Trial. Trinitas is one of nine hospitals in New Jersey participating in the study, which is a multi-state demonstration project that will assess the safety, quality and cost of elective angioplasty in hospitals that offer emergency angioplasty without onsite cardiac surgery backup. Coronary angioplasty involves the insertion of a catheter into a blocked artery in the heart. A small balloon on the end of the catheter is inflated, opening the artery and restoring blood flow to the heart.

"Our participation in this benchmark study is significant for the 300,000 people who reside in the Trinitas Regional Medical Center service area who can now look to our medical center for life-saving elective angioplasty services," explained Gary S. Horan, FACHE, Trinitas President and Chief Executive Officer.
