 “We are pleased to participate in the Atlantic City Gateway Project as we continue to increase access to care for those who live, work in, and visit Atlantic City and the surrounding region,” said Margaret Belfield, executive vice president and chief operating officer, AtlantiCare. “Our history of serving Atlantic City began in 1898 when we opened what was then called Atlantic City Hospital. Over the years, we’ve enhanced our care and expanded our services. We’ve long worked with community partners, including ������Ƶ, to identify ways to work together to meet the health and wellness needs in our region. We look forward to providing services on ������Ƶ’s beautiful new campus.”

������Ƶ President Harvey Kesselman said the agreement extends AtlantiCare’s long partnership with ������Ƶ and benefits the entire Atlantic City community.

“AtlantiCare’s presence reinforces and enhances our commitment to develop the Atlantic City campus as a destination that serves both our students and the entire community,” Kesselman said.

The Occupational Health office will be open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. Primary Care will be open Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. Each will have five patient exam rooms. Occupational Medicine will offer a full complement of occupational health and workplace injury services.

This will bring AtlantiCare’s total number of Urgent Care centers to 16.

 “Locating these services on ������Ƶ’s campus is one way we are helping people access the care they need at the right time and in the most appropriate setting,” said Jatin Motiwal, vice president, AtlantiCare Physician Group and Regional Network. “We offer services in community gathering places – such as the ������Ƶ campus – to make it convenient for those seeking care.”

������Ƶ will offer beachfront living and learning at its new residential campus in Atlantic City. The new campus, which opens for the fall 2018 semester, features an Academic Center, parking garage, and residential housing on the Boardwalk for 533 students.
