Bergen New Bridge Medical Center

Bergen New Bridge Medical Center sits on a large campus at 230 East Ridgewood Avenue in Paramus, New Jersey, and has roots going back to 1916, when it opened as the Bergen County Isolation Hospital, and folks still call it Bergen Pines because they planted pine trees there in 1924, which some people still remember, and over the years it's grown into a place that offers a lot of medical, surgical, and specialty care, with both inpatient and outpatient services so people can come in for short visits or longer stays, and they also have a nursing home and a mental health facility right on the grounds, making it a place where they try to look after both physical and mental, and even behavioral health needs for different ages, so families don't have to travel all over to get care. This facility has emergency and acute care for serious health problems, including a dedicated Pediatric ER and an Orthopedic team, and offers diagnostic services like PET-CT, MRI, CT scans, ultrasound, mammography including 3D, bone density tests, nuclear medicine, and regular X-rays, plus subspecialties such as Neuroradiology, Orthopedic & Body MRI, Interventional Radiology, Pediatric Radiology, Nucleus Medicine & PET-CT, a Vein Center, and special Women's Imaging that covers things like breast MRIs, digital and 3D mammograms, breast ultrasounds, biopsies, and even thyroid interventions like thyroid/neck biopsy and radiofrequency ablation. People who worry about radiation can know that they use ImageWisely® and ImageGently® safety steps, which matter to those concerned about imaging. They've got a patient portal so folks can get their reports and images online if they feel up to using computers. The campus has inpatient care units, specialty clinics-including one just for mental health with services for adults, children, and families-plus outpatient psychiatric care, and support services like a pharmacy and mental well-being help, with information on suicide prevention and a multi-faith chapel for anyone who wants a quiet place. The facility also takes emergency management, drills, and preparedness seriously, using AmeriLert for alerts, and sharing tools through their emergency management library and plans, which are all on their website, so the community can be informed and ready if needed. Bergen New Bridge has been managed by the Solomon Health Group since 1998, making it one of the bigger community hospitals in the area where people go for everything from simple check-ups to long-term care for tough medical or behavioral conditions, and while every hospital is different, what's clear is that Bergen New Bridge Medical Center covers a broad range of healthcare needs all in one place, with both modern services and care traditions that go back over a hundred years.
