New Jersey hospital teams up with nation’s leading tele-ICU care provider

CentraState is an acute care medical center and a teaching hospital in conjunction with the Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

CentraState Medical Center’s decision to launch tele-ICU services stemmed from the organization’s dedication to providing improved, quality outcomes with consistent patient-centered care delivery When New Jersey was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Advanced ICU Care accelerated its tele-ICU deployment to rapidly enable support for CentraState clinicians and patients.

“Advanced ICU Care is proud to step up in these challenging times to work cooperatively with clients looking to expand critical care services for the communities they serve,” said Lou Silverman, CEO of Advanced ICU Care. “Our team understands that we’re all in this together. We will creatively tailor our programs to meet the range of needs of our partner hospitals in light of the rapidly-changing developments driven by this global pandemic.  We are committed to collaborating with CentraState Medical Center to help address COVID-19 impacts in the short term and, to deliver sustained excellence in critical care over the entire span of our relationship.”
