Chairman's Introduction

At K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital, our goal is to treat each child as one of our own. Meeting all of a child's needs whether physical, emotional and mental, helps them to recover quicker and gives parents additional peace of mind. Supporting the parents and family members is just as important.

In collaboration with our Meridian hospital partners — Jersey Shore University, Ocean Medical Center, Riverview Medical Center, Bayshore Community Hospital and Southern Ocean Medical Center — K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital offers the area's largest network of board-certified pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists. We are also a teaching and a research medical center. Faculty of the Department published 24 articles in 2010 in peer reviewed journals.  

From infancy to adulthood, there is no need to travel long distances when you need expert medical care for your children. Look to K. Hovnanian Children's Hospital to be your complete medical resource close to home…where your family belongs.
