About Us

Palisades Medical Center is one of 18 hospitals in the Hackensack Meridian Health Network. Located on the Hudson River waterfront in North Bergen, N.J., Hackensack Meridian Palisades Medical Center has and continues to meet the changing healthcare needs of Hudson and Southern Bergen counties, serving a population of more than 450,000. The 197-bed not-for-profit medical center focuses on providing quality expert care in a safe environment. The hospital has recently earned an “A” Hospital Safety Grade from the Leapfrog Group’s most recent review, the only hospital in Hudson County with three consecutive A’s.

The hospital has been going through an exciting revitalization, attracting additional expert, fellowship-trained surgeons who specialize in minimally invasive surgery and other specialties. As a result of the hospital’s recent capital, clinical, and personnel investments, the hospital's interior spaces have been reimagined to enhance the patient experience. Renovations include new flooring, remodeling of the main hospital lobby and a brand new multi-specialty suite, and a urology office, in the medical office building, creating spaces that promote comfort, quality, and clinical excellence. Plans are underway for the construction of a new, state-of-the-art Emergency Department.

Located on the main campus, the Medical Office Building provides comprehensive specialty outpatient services featuring an adult and pediatric outpatient physical rehabilitation center with the latest equipment and technology. The sleep-wake center offers comfortable accommodations for sleep analysis. The Comprehensive Breast Center features an enhanced and newly added breast surgery program. The medical office building also has additional outpatient services including General Bariatrics, Orthopedic and Cosmetic Surgery, Cardiology, Urology, Pulmonology, Vascular, and Dermatology. The building also provides cancer care provided by professionals from Hackensack Meridian John Theurer Cancer Center.

Hackensack Meridian Palisades Medical Center has a Graduate Medical Education Program with residencies in podiatry, dermatology, family medicine, internal medicine, general surgery, gastroenterology fellowships, and traditional rotating internships.
