AtlantiCare Health Park at Hammonton Ribbon Cutting.wmv

More than 400 people attended an invited guests reception and ribbon cutting July 26 at the AtlantiCare Health Park at Hammonton, 219 White Horse Pike, Hammonton, NJ. The $20.6 million Park, which includes AtlantiCare's new Satellite Emergency Department, opened July 28.

The nearly 39,109 square feet thousand square foot building at the Park also includes AMI AtlantiCare Partners in Imaging; AtlantiCare Clinical Laboratory; ARMC Wound Healing Center; ARMC Cardiac Diagnostics and Physician office space.

AtlantiCare opened a Satellite Emergency Department in the former William B. Kessler Memorial Hospital with less than 24 hours' notice that Kessler was closing in March, 2009. AtlantiCare had invested more than $2 million to enhance and upgrade its former location so it could provide quality care until the new Satellite Emergency Department opened.

AtlantiCare's Hammonton Community Advisory Committee of residents and community leaders, met with AtlantiCare since ARMC opened the Satellite Emergency Department. The Health Park design was one way AtlantiCare addressed the group's requests for centralized services that are convenient to access. AtlantiCare's Hammonton Healing Arts Committee assisted in the review, selection and procurement of the art.

As part of AtlantiCare's commitment to dedicating one percent of all new building costs to the healing arts, works of art by 37 artists from New Jersey and Philadelphia County contribute to a healing environment throughout the Park.
