2020/2021 Community Impact Report

Building Walls, Breaking Down Barriers to Wellness

As AtlantiCare looks to the future of healthcare in our community, we are excited about what 2022 holds for our Medical Arts Pavilion on Ohio Avenue. The $38.3 million facility simultaneously recalls our origins as the Atlantic City Hospital, founded in 1898 and located on the very same block, and propels AtlantiCare into the future. The facility, designed to increase access to care for Atlantic City residents, will provide space for expanded services, including AtlantiCare’s Maternal/Fetal Medicine program for high-risk patients; a Neonatal Intensive Care Transition of Care Unit; Family Planning services; and a Family Medicine Residency Program. Expanding women’s and family services in Atlantic City, AtlantiCare aims to amplify our reach and to help close the gap Additionally, AtlantiCare’s Pediatric clinic, currently located in the William L. Gormley AtlantiCare HealthPlex, which provides Federally Qualified Health Center services, will relocate to the Pavilion, allowing for more centrally located care in Atlantic City. Taking an active proactive approach to addressing the shortage of primary care providers in New Jersey and the anticipated national shortage of physicians, we are excited to expand our capacity in providing opportunities for graduate medical residents and undergraduate medical students. Patient care simulation rooms for medical education will offer hands-on training opportunities for medical students. An auditorium with capacity for 144 individuals provides increased space for lectures and other educational opportunities. of healthcare disparities in underserved populations.

In line with our vision to build healthy communities and create a healing presence, our space will promote a healing atmosphere: the Pavilion will be home to a rooftop garden, which will provide a serene space for reflection and promote peace of mind. Consistent with our other properties, the Pavilion will feature artwork from New Jersey and Philadelphia area artists to further create a healing environment. And, planning for the changing needs of our community, we have allotted additional space for AtlantiCare programs and services, which will include an onsite dental program for patients of all ages.

We are on track to complete construction this fall and look forward to unveiling all that the Atlantic City Medical Arts Pavilion has to offer – world class care in a healing environment, open to all. As always, we are immensely grateful for your continued support. We are especially grateful to the Rubin Family Foundation and the Parker Family Foundation for a combined gift of $500,000 to kick off the fundraising campaign so strongly. The Foundation is still actively raising funds to support this project and ensure that care gaps are closed. Naming opportunities still exist.
