South Jersey Health System began construction in December 2001 on its new Regional Medical Center. The 238-bed, 405,000-sf hospital will house an enhanced emergency department, a Level II neonatal nursery, and specialized cardiac services. Each floor of the four-story hospital will focus on a different program. Services for mothers and babies will occupy the ground floor, with surgical patients on the second floor, medicine on the third and cardiology on the fourth. Rooms are all private and feature critical care monitoring technology. Future development plans could include a Level II trauma center. Consolidating South Jersey Hospital's Bridgeton, Milville and Vineland campuses, the $91 million facility is located in Newcomb and is expected to open in June 2004.
