Hackensack Meridian Health Launching First-of-Its-Kind Hyper Specialized Musculoskeletal Ambulatory Surgery Center in New Jersey
Hackensack Meridian Health partners with NueHealth to build Hackensack Musculoskeletal Surgery Center

Hackensack Meridian Health, New Jersey’s largest, most comprehensive health network, launched a first-of-its-kind hyper specialized musculoskeletal ambulatory surgery center (ASC) in New Jersey. Hackensack Meridian Health is partnering with NueHealth, a national leader in ASC management and value-based care solutions, to launch Hackensack Musculoskeletal Surgery Center, a new state-of the-art surgery center on the campus of Hackensack University Medical Center in Hackensack, New Jersey.
Hackensack Musculoskeletal Surgery Center is a custom-designed, five-operating-room center, equipped with premier surgical tools and technologies to support ambulatory musculoskeletal procedures.
Hackensack Musculoskeletal Stay Suites, an affiliated and partnered entity co-located in the same building as the surgery center, will offer patients an extended-stay opportunity in an innovative, recovery-focused environment following joint replacement procedures.
The ASC and Stay Suites facilities will offer NueHealth’s Muve program for hip and knee replacement patients, which is a comprehensive episode-of-care program that services patients preoperatively and postoperatively for a full year. The Muve program has demonstrated superior outcomes for joint replacement patients throughout NueHealth’s network of partnerships across the country.
Hackensack Musculoskeletal Surgery Center is NueHealth’s first facility in New Jersey with the Muve program. The combined facilities are 26,000 square feet and are located at 40 Prospect Avenue on the main campus of Hackensack University Medical Center. The center had its first total joint patient check in at the Stay Suites following discharge in August and has had ten more since then.
