C hilton Medical Center, part of Atlantic Health System, was also ranked number one or two among hospitals under 350 beds in the following medical specialties: hip and knee repairs, neurological disorders, pain management, breast cancer, prostate cancer, congestive heart failure, stroke and high risk pregnancies. “Providing our patients and communities with excellent quality medical care in a compas- sionate environment has always been our goal,” said Stephanie Schwartz, president of Chilton Medical Center. “This recognition is a testa- ment to the spirit of collaboration shared among our hospital employees and medical staff. It also reinforces that area physicians trust our dedicated staff will provide patients with the highest standards of care.” These rankings are published in Inside Jersey magazine’s April 2017 issue.
