1. Free expungement clinic in Morristown assists nearly 50 people (wrnjradio.com) — Nearly 50 people recently received free help clearing eligible nonviolent convictions at an expungement clinic hosted in Morristown, connecting residents with volunteer attorneys and local support organizations. The Morris County Prosecutor's Office and partners like Calvary Baptist Church, nourish.NJ, and reentry services used the event to link attendees with legal guidance, social services, and information to support a fresh start.
2. Atlantic Health Overlook Medical Center is 1st in NJ to use SetPoint System to treat Rheumatoid Arthritis (newswise.com) — Residents who rely on Atlantic Health's Morristown facilities may be interested that its sister hospital, Overlook Medical Center in Summit, is the first in New Jersey to use the SetPoint neurostimulation system for difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis. The device-based therapy, already FDA-approved, could eventually complement care across the Atlantic Health network, which includes Morristown Medical Center and Goryeb Children's Hospital.
3. David Nosacka joins Atlantic Health as executive vice president and CFO (hfma.org) — Atlantic Health, the major health system based in Morristown, has appointed veteran finance leader David Nosacka as its new executive vice president and CFO, overseeing finances for eight hospitals and hundreds of care sites. His experience guiding large health systems nationwide could influence how Atlantic Health manages resources, invests in services, and navigates financial challenges that ultimately affect Morristown-area patients and providers.
4. Morris School District begins new year with upgrades — and concerns over ICE (morristowngreen.com) — Morris School District families in Morristown face both big facility upgrades and fresh concerns after voters approved a $158.4 million bond that will raise local school taxes while funding improvements across all 10 schools. At the first board meeting of the year, officials highlighted new projects like Frelinghuysen's turf field, while residents questioned an ICE operation near Morristown schools that frightened students and immigrant families.
