Wellness Program

The best cure for any disease is to prevent it in the first place. Towards that end Shore Memorial Hospital offers wellness education, newsletters and magazines, and community outreach to help the entire family get, and stay healthy.

Our QuitCenter helps smokers kick the habit, and our Center for Women's
Health offers the lady of the house programs to maintain not only her
own health, but that of her family. Taking wellness into area homes is
Health Today, the hospital's weekly television show, that proves that
even couch potatoes can be healthy. Staying active is also the key to
good health. The hospital's Volunteer Program and the Shore Memorial
Hospital Auxiliary provides many ways to have fun and at the same time
give back to your community hospital.

Shore Memorial's Wellness Program provides ongoing prevention,
screening and educational offerings for men, women, seniors and
children and is one of the most comprehensive programs in the region.
Its ongoing goal is to identify community health needs and respond with
appropriate prevention programs.

Program planners work in concert with other hospitals and healthcare
organizations, such as the Partnership for Healthy Communities and the
South Jersey Perinatal Cooperative, among others. Partnerships enable
pooling of resources and sharing of data to accurately focus on needs
and appropriate programs of response.

The United Way of Atlantic County

Even if life seems full of problems, finding help shouldn't be one of them.

A first step for help is New Jersey's 2-1-1 Non-Emergency Helpline. Funded in part by United Way of Atlantic County, 2-1-1’s two regional call centers can provide you with information about health and human service agencies in your community and statewide.

The service is free and confidential, and multilingual operators are available to assist callers. Visit http://www.nj211.org/ for more information.
