Palisades Medical Center is proud to announce that the hospital broke ground on a new, state-of-the-art emergency department. This $50 million investment will make emergency care more accessible by doubling the size of the emergency department to 22,000 square feet, enabling the medical center to continue providing high-quality, safe, cutting-edge care.
The new design will enable Palisades Medical Center to make emergency care more accessible to the community by:
- Adding 17 treatment bays, bringing the total to 50.
- An enlarged trauma room that will accommodate three treatment bays.
- Constructing 15 new fast-track bays will enable team members to treat non-urgent patients more efficiently.
- The new emergency department will also maximize patient comfort and safety with a dedicated area for pediatric patients and a secure area for behavioral health patients.
The expanded emergency department is slated to open in 2026.
Palisades Medical Center was recognized earlier this year as the only hospital in Hudson County to earn an “A” safety rating from The Leapfrog Group. The hospital also received the Health Care Equity Certification from the Joint Commission and was named in a report from the Lown Institute, which found that the hospital is among the top hospitals in the nation for giving back to the communities it serves.
