Jersey Shore University Medical Center (JSUMC) opened the doors to its $300 million, 'Transforming Care' project in August 2009. JSUMC’s 433,400 sq ft expanded facilities - a new patient care pavilion featuring 144 all-private rooms, expansion of surgical services, an emergency department / trauma center which can treat 100,000 patients annually, a 975-car parking garage and renovations to existing buildings - provided the foundation for a transformation of the hospital’s approach to patient care.
