Power Restored at Southern Jersey Family Medical Centers Following Storm

The following statement was issued by Southern Jersey Family Medical Centers on Friday:

We want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding during the difficult time the last few days with the power outages. We were one of the last health care agencies to get complete power back. While our Health Centers in Burlington, Atlantic and Salem counties, got power almost immediately, our corporate office, where our phone and computer systems are housed, did not get power back until early Thursday evening. We know this has been an inconvenience and we are very sorry. We are now up and running at full speed and are here for all of your health care needs.

“We know it has been tough for our patients and the community to contact us the last few days and we are sincerely sorry. We stayed on top of the electric company to get us up and running to full capacity so that we can take care of our communities that rely on us.” said Linda Flake, President/CEO of Southern Jersey Family Medical Centers. “Please contact us at 609-567-0200 to schedule an appointment to be seen today or come to one of our seven healthcare centers in your community.”

Southern Jersey Family Medical Centers has been serving South jersey for over 37 years. We have provided primary healthcare services to local communities, including residents and migrant seasonal farm workers. With 7 primary healthcare centers in Burlington, Salem and Atlantic Counties, we are the region’s premier source for high quality healthcare that reduces the financial and cultural barriers to meet the needs of the community.

Our mission is to provide and promote effective, high quality primary and preventive health and dental care services for residents and migrant/seasonal farm workers in Southern Jersey regardless of their ability to pay and to eliminate barriers to care based upon race, religious belief, ethnicity, economic status, gender, disability, linguistic capability, cultural, sexual preference, national origin and residential status.
