Goryeb Children’s Hospital – the center of pediatric care
Goryeb Children’s Hospital at Atlantic Health Morristown is a designated “Children’s Hospital” – an earned recognition from New Jersey and the national Children’s Hospital Association. As such, we serve as the hub of pediatric care at Atlantic Health and are equipped to handle just about any child’s medical need.
Our hospital has a 15-bed pediatric intensive care unit, a dedicated pediatric emergency department, a Valerie Fund Children’s Center for pediatric hematology and oncology and much more.
Seamlessly connected to Goryeb Children’s Hospital, all of our medical centers offer expert care for children and 24-hour access to pediatric emergency care. In addition, Hersh Children’s Center at Atlantic Health Overlook and the Children’s Center at Atlantic Health Chilton bring expert pediatric emergency and overnight hospital care together into their dedicated family-friendly spaces for patients and their families.
