Physician Team from Coastal Imaging, LLC Donates $500,000 to Support Hackensack Meridian Health Meridian Health Foundation Giving Heals Campaign

Neptune, NJ - The team of radiologists from Coastal Imaging, LLC, have donated $500,000 to Hackensack Meridian HealthMeridian Health Foundation. Half of the group’s donation will go to Meridian Health Foundation’s first ever regional comprehensive campaign, Giving Heals, with priorities at Hackensack Meridian Health medical centers in Middlesex, Monmouth and Ocean counties. Funds raised by the campaign will go toward strengthening oncology services, improving clinical outcomes, enhancing the patient experience and broadening our clinical research and academic programs. The remainder of the group’s donation will go toward a variety of fundraising events to help further the campaign and engage the community within the four Hackensack Meridian Health medical centers in which the physicians work.

“We have been providing services at these hospitals for more than 20 years and wanted to give back to those in which we all work and the community that we serve,” says Thomas Yu, M.D., president of Coastal Imaging. “We feel that our gift is going to help us continue to grow services at these hospitals and provide better care for our patients. We are honored to donate. It’s the right thing to do.”

Coastal Imaging is made up of a group of 50 radiologists who provide diagnostic imaging services for four Hackensack Meridian Health hospitals, including Ocean Medical Center, Riverview Medical Center, Southern Ocean Medical Center and Bayshore Medical Center.

“It’s an incredible thing when physicians believe so much in where they work and what they do every day that they choose to give back to do even more,” says Joseph Stampe, president and chief development officer at Meridian Health Foundation. “We are grateful to the Coastal Imaging physicians for their generous support and know that their donation will help many community members in need of medical care.”
