Virtua Health
Virtua Health continues to embrace innovation and prioritize patient experience to meet—and exceed—the evolving needs and preferences of the people it serves.
As an example, in response to the pandemic, people are now far more comfortable with technology that allows them to receive meaningful care from home. Virtua launched a remote patient-monitoring program that provides participants with equipment they can use at home; meanwhile, clinicians chart their progress remotely and check-in regularly. Telehealth has also become increasingly in-demand, particularly for urgent care consultations.
Virtua Health is investing in its hospitals as destinations for advanced, thoughtful, and compassionate care. Specifically, Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital will receive a significant multi-year renovation and emerge as a center of excellence for complex cardiovascular, neuroscience, and transplant services. This includes incorporating the latest technology and enhancing the patient experience through private rooms, ample parking, and a welcoming atmosphere.
Virtua will continue to expand its Virtua Medical Group—which today includes 250-plus practices. As one of the largest health system joint-venture providers of ambulatory surgery, Virtua will reach new regions by forging additional partnerships and prioritizing access.
In all things, Virtua strives to be here for the people of New Jersey and Here for Good.
