New Jersey now has the second largest number of COVID-19 cases in the nation and that number is expected to climb over the weeks to come with increased testing. As those numbers grow, the strain on health care will only increase. On every level, there is need.

More than ever, Hackensack Meridian Health's mission to take care of our families, friends and neighbors has an urgency that is a call to action for everyone who has ever been touched by our hospitals, urgent care facilities, physician offices, nursing or rehabilitation centers. From personal protective equipment, to ventilators, sterilization equipment, support for isolated patients, emergency tents, increased staffing costs, and more, your support in fighting this pandemic matters, more than ever.

We understand these times are difficult for everyone. If you are unable to make a gift, please consider sending a note of gratitude to the frontline health care workers in our community by emailing grateful@hackensackmeridian.org.

Thank you for partnering with us as we fight COVID-19.
