Guided by a mission of service - As a member of the region’s largest nonprofit health system, SJH Elmer Hospital is guided by a mission that focuses on providing quality care to the communities it serves. Today, more than a half century after its opening, Elmer Hospital remains committed to introducing the latest technology and expanding its facilities to meet the needs of Salem and Gloucester County families.

Growing to meet community needs - In recent years, South Jersey Healthcare’s Elmer Hospital has undergone a remarkable transformation. Since January of 2000, we have opened a new state-of-the-art intensive care unit; a modern surgical services department; a new child/adolescent intensive outpatient mental health unit; and a new MaternityCare Center. Our lobby and registration area have also been completely redesigned to ensure your comfort, convenience and privacy.

Dedicated to exceeding your expectations - By focusing on clinical quality and customer service, we have earned the distinction of being a national leader in patient satisfaction. We are proud that our patients have consistently ranked our emergency services and ambulatory care among the top in the nation for patient satisfaction. Our inpatients also give us good marks, consistently placing us in the top 10 to 20 percent in the nation for patient satisfaction.
