[4] JSUMC is also an ACS designated level II trauma center[5][6] with a rooftop helipad handling medevac patients.

[8] Jersey Shore University Medical Center was founded in 1904 and originally named the Ann May Memorial Homeopathic Hospital.

In 2019, the hospital once again expanded by building the 10 story, 300,000 square foot Healing Outpatient Experience (HOPE Tower) at a cost of $265 million.

The HOPE Tower includes outpatient cancer care, maternity, pediatrics, doctors offices and high-tech academic and research space.

[18][19][20] As a part of the expansion, the HOPE tower includes a 200 seat[21] auditorium named the John K. Lloyd Amphitheater after the former co-CEO of Hackensack Meridian Health.

[26] In early 2021, JSUMC opened a new cardiac catheterization lab as part of the first stage of a $45 million cardiovascular expansion scheduled to be completed in July 2023.

The hospital has 88 beds[38] and provides comprehensive pediatric specialties and sub-specialties to infants, children, teens, and young adults aged 0–21 throughout Coastal New Jersey.
