What St. Joseph's Health does

Founded in 1867 and sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth, the system operates wholly-owned facilities including St. Joseph's University Medical Center (an academic tertiary care and state-designated trauma center), St. Joseph's Wayne Medical Center, St. Joseph's Children's Hospital, St. Joseph's Totowa Health Campus, The Cancer Center at Totowa, The DePaul Center, and the St. Joseph's Ambulatory Surgical Center. St. Joseph's is one of four LCME-accredited hospital-based medical school campuses in New Jersey. Kevin J. Slavin serves as President and CEO.

The system delivers nine core clinical service lines — cancer care, heart and vascular care, orthopedics, pediatrics, primary care, rehabilitation, surgery, weight management, and women's health — and operates graduate medical education programs in orthopedic surgery, pediatrics, plastic and reconstructive surgery, and pharmacy, training more than 100 medical students and over 200 residents and fellows annually. The technology stack comprises Oracle HCM for finance and supply chain, UKG for workforce management, Relias Learning for training, and careMESH for HIPAA-compliant provider-directory and care-coordination messaging. Annual operational volume referenced in the input includes 40,000 pediatric ED visits, 6,000 pediatric admissions, 300,000 outpatient visits at the Children's Hospital, and 74,000+ DePaul Center clinic visits; the adult ED is the busiest in New Jersey and fifth busiest nationally.

Revenue is generated through patient care services billed via in-network insurance relationships (including a renewed Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey agreement), physician referrals, emergency admissions, and direct patient access through the Patient Portal and Video Visits. Distribution spans regional hospitals, urgent care centers, and physician offices. Credentials include six-time Magnet nursing recognition, Joint Commission Comprehensive Stroke Center certification, Level III Neonatal ICU, first accredited geriatric emergency department in New Jersey (one of nine nationally), and Newsweek America's Greatest Workplaces 2025 Healthcare.
