Hackensack Meridian Health topped off construction of its health and wellness center at a transit hub. When it opens later this year, the Hackensack Meridian Health & Wellness Center at Metropark will provide convenient access to comprehensive care to thousands of New Jersey, New York and Northeast residents each day.

The Hackensack Meridian Health and Wellness Center at Metropark will offer more than 60,000 square feet of healthcare services just steps from one of the state’s busiest mass transit hubs.

With a comprehensive list of health services, the Health and Wellness Center at Metropark will offer a one-stop-shop convenient health experience for patients. Health services will include primary care, medical specialties, surgical specialties, sports and spine center of excellence, advanced imaging, phlebotomy, rehabilitation, retail pharmacy, occupational health and urgent care.

The health and wellness center will provide convenient world class care for those who regularly use NJ TRANSIT’s train and bus service at Metropark Station. It will also offer easily accessible medical care for those traveling the entire Northeast including New York City, Philadelphia, Boston and Washington D.C., along Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor line.

The Health and Wellness Center also addresses a growing need for world class quality care in the Woodbridge and Middlesex County area, with easy access from the Garden State Parkway and Middlesex Essex Turnpike.

Last March HMH broke ground on the $200 million project in conjunction with the larger development of Metropark Station by DOR, a consortium led by Russo Development, that was awarded a $110 million tax credit grant. The impetus for the development came from New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s push to modernize transportation hubs throughout the state, making them multi-use locations for residential, office space, retail and restaurants, allowing people to live, work and play in one location.

Following the completion of the HMH Metropark building, a residential building will be constructed with retail on the lower level and approximately 230 residential units. With the residential growth in the immediate area surrounding Metropark and the surrounding communities, there will be a greater need for accessible health care that the Hackensack Meridian Health and Wellness Center will be able to accommodate.

The Health & Wellness Center at Metropark expands on Hackensack Meridian Health’s broader effort to better serve patients, by bringing together key network physicians and ambulatory services under one roof in easily accessible neighborhoods throughout our community. In the last several years, Hackensack Meridian Health has opened outpatient care center locations across the state including in Eatontown, Clark and Paramus.

The project will also consolidate Hackensack Meridian’s corporate offices, currently in Edison, within the upper floors of the Metropark facility, offering team members a state of the art, convenient place to work, allowing HMH to continue to attract top talent from the metro area.

The Hackensack Meridian Health and Wellness Center at Metropark is scheduled to open in Fall 2025.
