Jefferson Health New Jersey

What Jefferson Health New Jersey does

Jefferson Health New Jersey is a regional operating arm of the integrated Jefferson Health system, a non-profit academic health network headquartered in Philadelphia and formed through the August 2024 merger of Jefferson and Lehigh Valley Health Network. Following the merger, the combined organization operates 32 hospitals and over 700 care sites spanning Eastern Pennsylvania and Southern New Jersey, supported by approximately 65,000 employees across the system. The Cherry Hill, New Jersey entity delivers the full continuum of care — primary care, specialty services (cancer, heart and vascular, neuroscience, orthopedics, women's health, weight management, transplant), urgent care, imaging, rehabilitation, and telehealth — to residents of Southern New Jersey, while benefiting from clinical-program and academic-medicine integration with the parent system.

The underlying technology stack combines an enterprise EHR, a patient-facing digital ecosystem (MyJeffersonHealth portal, telehealth, online scheduling, symptom checker, and a mobile app) with an emerging AI layer. Proprietary or partnered capabilities include Medasense's NOL pain monitoring under clinical study, ambient listening technology that auto-documents clinical visits, and a generative-AI collaboration with Qualified Health supporting a system-wide target to reclaim 10 million clinician hours by 2028. The academic platform — Sidney Kimmel Medical College, residency and research programs — underpins specialty reputation and U.S. News & World Report rankings in nine specialties.

Revenue is generated primarily through fee-for-service patient care across hospitals, outpatient sites, and physician practices, supplemented by Jefferson Health Plans offerings (a payer arm expanded post-merger) and ancillary services such as clinical trials, academic programs, and community health initiatives. Pricing is quote-based and varies by service, payer, and patient circumstance, with charge-description transparency disclosures per regulation. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the 1-800-JEFF-NOW call line, online scheduling, and the patient portal, with no third-party distribution partners. The system has reported $8.6 billion in revenue for the six months ending December 31, 2025, alongside a $201 million operating loss reflecting post-merger integration costs, a $64.7 million restructuring charge from October 2024 layoffs of 600-700 employees, and rising pharmaceutical costs.
