AtlantiCare, the largest health-care organization in southeastern New Jersey, celebrated on Wednesday the completion of two new patient-care floors at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center, Mainland Campus, in Galloway Township. The project cost $75 million, which includes a $20 million grant from the State of New Jersey,
The new patient-care floors are within the hospital wing called the Meadows Pavilion. The third and fourth floors now house an additional 50 private rooms. The Meadows Pavilion expansion is part of Vision 2030 — now in its second year — AtlantiCare’s six-year plan to transform health care across southeastern New Jersey.
Michael Charlton, president and CEO of AtlantiCare, addressed attendees alongside Brittany Knapp, vice president and chief administrative officer of the Mainland Campus; NJ Department of Health Acting Commissioner, Jeff Brown; state Sen. Vince Polistina; Galloway Township Mayor Tony Coppola; and other local leaders.
“We approached this project with a clear purpose: to create a space that meets the needs of today’s patients while anticipating the care demands of tomorrow,” said Michael Charlton, president and CEO of AtlantiCare. “This expansion is part of a broader commitment to build a system that is ready for what’s next, responsive to South Jersey’s needs, and rooted in the belief that exceptional care should always be close to home.”
The project includes 35,000 square feet of new construction atop the existing two floors of the Meadows Pavilion. Each private room is equipped with smart technology that integrates clinical information and empowers patients to control entertainment, temperature, and dining preferences through voice activation or touchscreen monitors. The layout and finishes were selected in collaboration with nurses, physicians, support teams, and facilities experts.
Once the third floor is activated for patient care in June, AtlantiCare will begin renovating the first-floor rooms to align with the design and features of the new units, followed by work on the second floor. Additional enhancements across the hospital are planned through 2026, with the full expansion and renovation project on track for completion by the end of that year.
AtlantiCare, based in Egg Harbor Township, has a team of more than 6,500 who serve the community in more than 110 locations in Atlantic, Burlington, Camden, Cape May, and Ocean counties of southern New Jersey.
