Overlook Medical Center begins $70 million surgical department expansion in Summit. Atlantic Health Overlook Medical Center in Summit began construction on an expanded surgical department, the John E. Reeves Center for Advanced Surgery, following a wall-breaking ceremony, according to an Aug. 21 announcement. "This is the time to expand our surgical environment and prepare Atlantic Health Overlook for the next era of exceptional care," said Stephanie Schwartz, president of Atlantic Health Overlook Medical Center and senior vice president of Atlantic Health. The $70 million project aims to address both current needs and anticipated growth. Surgical volume at the facility increased 22% from 2021 to 2025, while robotic surgery cases grew by 132% from 2022 to 2025. The hospital expects annual surgical volumes will rise from more than 18,000 in 2025 to over 24,000 within ten years. Hospital officials said this marks the first major upgrade to its surgical services area in over four decades. Planning for the expansion included meetings between surgeons, engineers and architects in 2023. During these sessions, staff used cardboard models inside Bouras Auditorium to design optimal layouts for walls, fixtures and desks. Muhammad Feteiha, MD, chairman of the department of surgery at Overlook Medical Center, said, "This was truly a team effort, and at the heart of it we believe in Atlantic Health Overlook's future." Jillian Carratala, RN, director of nursing for surgical services at Overlook Medical Center, added, "We listened to what the patients told us. That patient perspective became our foundation. It guided every conversation, every decision, and every revision along the way." Construction is planned in phases over three to four years so that surgeries can continue without interruption during renovations. Funding comes largely from donors through Overlook Foundation; significant support was provided by Reeves Foundation. "We are proud to support this plan which has kept patients at the center of every decision. The Overlook team has truly designed a surgical center for the future," said Ed Reeves.

Atlantic Health and K Health introduce AI platform to expand patient access in New Jersey. Atlantic Health and K Health announced on Aug. 11 the launch of two new digital healthcare innovations: Atlantic Health PatientGPT, a clinical artificial intelligence tool, and Virtual Primary Care, designed to improve access to primary care physicians at any time. According to the announcement, Atlantic Health PatientGPT is integrated with the health system's electronic health record and patient portal. The tool provides personalized health information based on each patient's medical profile, allowing individuals to explore symptoms and health concerns. It also connects users directly with Atlantic Health services and care teams, offering the ability to schedule same-day or same-hour appointments through Atlantic Virtual Primary Care. The organizations said that together, these tools form a centralized digital entry point for patients seeking care at Atlantic Health. Patients can begin by asking a health question using PatientGPT and be guided through receiving appropriate care. As described in the release, this is the first platform of its kind in New Jersey aimed at expanding access while providing coordinated guidance throughout a patient's healthcare journey. Saad Ehtisham, President and CEO of Atlantic Health, said, "The best use of AI in healthcare makes care more human, not less. Technology should strengthen the connection between patients and clinicians, reduce barriers to care, and help people get the right care at the right time. These innovations reflect our commitment to making care more accessible while enhancing consumer experience, and they are a meaningful step toward our vision of becoming a national leader in healthcare." Allon Bloch, co-founder and CEO of K Health, added, "PatientGPT is a game changer in how patients get high-quality answers to their health and lifestyle questions. It's grounded in their own medical record and connected end-to-end into Atlantic Health's care delivery system. This changes how patients access high-quality medicine, whether the need is acute, chronic, or preventive, and provides 24/7 support from everyday care to complex needs." Ran Shaul, co-founder and chief product officer at K Health, said, "Trust is the whole game in clinical AI. Patients and clinicians have to know the technology is safe before it can be useful. PatientGPT is now live across multiple leading health systems, and every deployment is built on the same foundation: clinician-led decisioning and policy documentation." Atlantic Health stated that PatientGPT will launch initially as an introductory beta phase with gradual rollout across New Jersey over several months. The tool does not replace physician-provided medical advice but supports patient involvement in their own healthcare.
