Atlantic Health System

Atlantic Health is one of the largest non-profit health care networks in New Jersey. It employs 18,000 people and more than 4,800 affiliated physicians. The system offers more than 400 sites of care, including six hospitals: Atlantic Health Chilton Medical Center, Goryeb Children’s Hospital, Atlantic Health Hackettstown Medical Center, Atlantic Health Morristown Medical Center, Atlantic Health Newton Medical Center and Atlantic Health Overlook Medical Center.

Atlantic Health serves more than half of the state of New Jersey, including 11 counties and 4.9 million people. Its medical centers have a combined total of 1,860 licensed beds and 4,796 affiliated physicians that provide a wide array of health care services.

The company has been ranked on the FORTUNE 100 Great Place to Work list for 17 years. Atlantic Health also includes the best hospital in New Jersey, Morristown Medical Center, according to both US News & World Report and Newsweek.

The president and chief executive of Atlantic Health is Saad Ehtisham.

Atlantic Health was founded in 1996 through the merger of Morristown Memorial Hospital, Overlook Hospital, Mountainside Hospital, and soon after, the General Hospital Center at Passaic. Over the next quarter century, Atlantic Health System grew to include Morristown Medical Center, Overlook Medical Center and Goryeb Children’s Hospital. It added Newton Medical Center in 2011, Chilton Medical Center in 2014 and Hackettstown Medical Center in 2016, along with the new Atlantic Rehabilitation Institute (2019), new partnership with CentraState Health System (2021), and longstanding alliance with Hunterdon Healthcare (2014).

On October 22, 2020, officials from Atlantic Health announced that they were acquiring a 51% stake in Freehold based CentraState Healthcare System. As a part of the deal, CentraState will continue to govern themselves while Atlantic Health System has committed to invest $135 million into the hospital.

Atlantic Health and Saint Peter’s University Hospital in New Brunswick signed a letter of intent in January 2024 to establish a strategic partnership. On October 6, 2025, Atlantic Health and Saint Peter’s Healthcare System announced they agreed not to pursue the partnership.

Atlantic Medical Group is a physician-led and physician-governed organization with more than 1,000 doctors, nurse practitioners and physician assistants at over 300 locations throughout northern and central New Jersey and northeast Pennsylvania.
