In support of this innovative approach to building healthy communities,
AtlantiCare invited Peter Drucker, PhD, world-renowned leadership consultant
and educator, and the author of the groundbreaking article, “The Age of Social
Transformation,” to present his views onstage at Harrah’s casino.
“We invited everybody we knew,” Mr. Lynn recalled. “Not [only] trustees and doctors, [but]
all the leaders in our community — business people, judges, police, teachers, social workers,
nurses. Dr. Drucker talked about the importance of missions like ours in institutions like ours
to positively impact the quality of life. He validated our mission and vision. We never looked
back after that moment.”
Growth became key to
successfully managing health.
AtlantiCare developed a hub-and-spoke approach to growth that located
needed primary and emergent services in the center of a market and added
specialty services based on the needs of the community. The first of these hubs,
the Health Park in Egg Harbor Township, broke ground in 1999. AtlantiCare has
since opened Health Park campuses in Hammonton in Atlantic County, Cape May
Court House in Cape May County, and Manahawkin in Ocean County.
