In a helpful guide, Arthur Calise, D.O., medical director of Hackensack Meridian Urgent Care PLUS, explains how to match your symptoms to the right setting. For a wide range of non-life-threatening conditions, an urgent care center provides a convenient and streamlined experience. Discover how advanced "high acuity" centers like Urgent Care PLUS are transforming the patient experience with on-site X-rays, CT scans, and a staff of emergency medicine board-certified physicians, offering a powerful solution for immediate health concerns.

Demonstrating its commitment to world-class emergency medicine, Hackensack Meridian Health recently unveiled the first phase of a completely redesigned Emergency Room at Palisades Medical Center. Developed with community feedback, this state-of-the-art facility is engineered to enhance efficiency and provide a calming, private environment when patients need it most. The full project will double the ER's size and add dedicated spaces for pediatric and behavioral health, creating "a better way to care for our neighbors."
