MONTCLAIR, New Jersey (May 1, 2021) – Mountainside Medical Center has announced today its acquisition of Immedicenter offices in Bloomfield and Clifton. The offices will be renamed Hackensack Meridian Mountainside Immedicenter.
Serving the community for over 35 years, Immedicenter provides patients with immediate care for injuries and acute illness. The center also offers primary care and chronic care services.
The acquisition solidifies a long-standing relationship between Mountainside Medical Center and Immedicenter, further strengthening the entities’ abilities to provide a full range of services to the communities they serve.
“I have been on the Mountainside Medical Center staff for over 30 years.
