RWJBarnabas Health and Rutgers University have partnered together to create the state’s largest academic health care system dedicated to providing high-quality patient care, leading-edge research, and world-class health and medical education that will transform and advance health care in New Jersey.
Our facility has received the Joint Commission Gold Seal of Approval for various programs, including our Stroke and Total Joint Replacement-Hip and Knee programs (among others). Our Cancer Center is also recognized by the Commission on Cancer of The American College of Surgeons as a Community Hospital Comprehensive Cancer Center. Our Breast Center is also the only accredited center by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers (NAPBC) in Atlantic and Ocean Counties.
Holly Twig will be celebrating our 53rd anniversary this month, April. We proudly work on fund raising projects to help purchase items to improve the quality of the patients’ stay while at RWJ Barnabas Health/Community Medical Center that are not included in the regular operating budget.
Our largest project of the year is always the Annual Gift Auction which will be Wednesday, June 11th at the HC Berkeley Clubhouse 2, located at 631 Jamaica Blvd. The price of the tickets is $15 which will be your admission and one sheet of prize tickets. This year our prize value will be a minimum of $50. Local businesses, theater companies and sports venues have been very generous. Please call for tickets or see one of our members.
Holly Twig continues to accept donations of yarn which is used to make baby hats for the newborns to wear home and hats and lap blankets for the oncology department.
The Second Time Around thrift and consignment shop which is operated by the Community Medical Center Auxiliary is most definitely one of Toms River’s hidden gems. The shop will be celebrating its 50th anniversary next October. When it first opened it was began tucked away in the basement of the hospital. Today it is a department store with a huge variety of items for everyone. It is tucked out of sight off Route 37 on Industrial Way. This is another worthwhile place to volunteer to make a difference.
