Sacco and Weehawken Mayor Richard Turner.

Palisades Medical Center’s new Ambulatory Care Center will be a 57,000-square-foot facility that will provide state-of-the-art ambulatory and specialty care services. Services that will be featured in the new building include a dialysis center, Hackensack University Medical Center’s John Theurer Cancer Center, ambulatory center for Endoscopy, Cardiology, Gastroenterology, Orthopedics and multi-specialty physician practices from Hackensack University Medical Center. Construction is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2014.

Markowitz, president and CEO of Palisades Medical Center. “It is critical in today’s healthcare environment to create facilities that support our mission and goals through operational efficiencies, patient comfort and clinical outcomes. This expansion will also help create a significant number of job opportunities for residents in our community.”
