Hackensack Meridian Health Ocean Care Center
The Hackensack Meridian Health Ocean Care Center, located in Point Pleasant, New Jersey, provides similar capabilities as a hospital-based emergency department for non-life-threatening medical care and also provides outpatient services, such as lab testing and imaging.
Non-life-threatening medical care is for severe, critical illnesses that need immediate care but is not life-threatening. Stand-alone Emergency Departments also have full access to hospital Emergency Departments if needed.
Satellite Emergency Department – Open 24/7/365
Offering little to no wait times day or night, the satellite emergency department of Ocean Medical Center delivers exceptional treatment provided by emergency medicine physicians, nurses and technicians specially trained and experienced in emergency treatment. With the exception of trauma, it has the same capabilities as conventional Emergency Departments—with all the necessary personnel and emergency equipment.
Conditions treated include:
- Abdominal pain
- Allergic reactions
- Animal/insect bites
- Asthma
- Broken bones/sprains
- Cold or flu symptoms
- Ear and eye infections
- Suspected poisoning
- Head injuries without loss of consciousness
- Lacerations including sutures

Ocean Care Center is a satellite Emergency Department, NOT an urgent care center, so you will be billed for an Emergency Department visit.
