2020/2021 Community Impact Report

Thank you

We speak often about how life can change in a moment, as many of our patients know and as our staff and providers see daily. Over the past two years, life has changed – dramatically, for all of us. We are reminded of the many constants that have persisted through this unprecedented time of change. AtlantiCare has continued to prove itself a leader in our community and our region, delivering care with agility and compassion and providing health and hope to patients and community members. The many partnerships that are the foundation for so much of our work in the community proved, yet again, to be critical in helping us achieve our goal to provide health and healing to all. Whether we were sharing education about effective masking policies to schools and local businesses or hosting pop-up COVID testing sites and vaccine clinics, collaboration with these partners amplified our reach and provided critical resources to our community. And while COVID presented new challenges, we also continued to take innovative approaches to tackle preexisting ones. In response to elevated rates of opioid related deaths, we launched a Bridge Clinic at the AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center City Campus to ensure timely access to substance use treatment. We implemented a virtualist program, providing same day access to medical care, which conducted more than 1,300 visits in the first six months. And, in a time of staffing shortages, we on-boarded 77 new providers, 332 nurses and 238 patient care associates. And, as ever, we are grateful for our Foundation family and the essential support you provide to help us build healthy communities. We look forward to opening our Ohio Avenue Medical Arts Pavilion, which will provide expanded services to our Atlantic City friends and neighbors as well as create a home for our medical education facilities, later this year. We could not have done it without you. As we embark upon our Mainland Expansion project, we know that we can count on the continued support of our community to help us anticipate and plan for the future. For more than 120 years, we’ve had the privilege to partner with and care for you, our community. Thank you for your continued support: your faith in our mission of providing health and healing to all people through trusting relationships – whether through financial gifts, volunteerism, in-kind donations, or via partnerships to keep our region safe – gives us all hope.
