AtlantiCare Nursing

AtlantiCare’s story begins in 1898, when Atlantic City Hospital opened with just 10 beds. Improvement and investment has continued since those early days – with the first major expansion to the hospital coming just a few decades later. In the 1970s, Atlantic City Medical Center built a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit in Atlantic City and a new mainland campus in Galloway Township. Expansion continued through the 80s and 90s, with the addition of a Level II Trauma Center in 1991.

AtlantiCare Health System was formed in 1993 with plans for significant infrastructure growth. Since then, AtlantiCare has invested millions of dollars in new services and facilities.

Ground was broken on the first AtlantiCare Health Park in Egg Harbor Township in 1999. Since then, additional Health Parks were built in Cape May Court House, Hammonton and Manahawkin – each making ambulatory and outpatient diagnostic and therapeutic services more convenient to more people. After a decade of active strategic development, the 2000s saw a flurry of activity, with millions invested to build and expand cutting-edge services, including: • The region’s only cardiac surgery program at the Heart & Vascular Institute • A new Emergency Department, Center for Childbirth and Cardiac Catheterization & Rhythm Center at AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center Mainland Campus in Galloway • Opening the AtlantiCare Cancer Care Institute, a Fox Chase Cancer Center Partner, with locations in Egg Harbor Township and Cape May Court House • A commitment to upgrade services and facilities throughout the entire Mainland campus, with a transformation and modernization initiative, including building the Rothman Institute Pavilion for Orthopaedics • Building a network of Urgent Care centers • Opening four ambulatory surgery centers in Egg Harbor Township (two centers), Little Egg Harbor and Cape May Court House • A fully equipped Satellite Emergency Department in Hammonton. • A transformation of AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center City Campus with the opening of the George F.
