Celebrating 30 Years on the Waterfront
On September 10, 1978, a group of committed volunteers from the North Hudson-Southern Bergen community helped fulfill a longstanding dream. What had once been North Hudson Hospital was relocated to a new home on the waterfront, the site of the new Palisades Medical Center.
Since it was established, the Medical Center has continually evolved, grown and flourished to meet the changing healthcare needs of our communities. Today, Palisades Medical Center serves a population of 350,000 and it is a member of the prestigious New York-Presbyterian Healthcare System. The Palisades campus consists of a 202-bed Medical Center and The Harborage, a 245-bed rehabilitation center and nursing home.
The 2008 Star Stream Ball will celebrate Palisades Medical Center’s 30th Anniversary on the waterfront and the Foundation’s 30th Anniversary Campaign: Growing With Our Community. The Foundation's goal is to build an endowment to ensure that Palisades Medical Center and the Harborage are financially positioned to build the programs and services that our growing community deserves.
