Atlantic Health System announced the creation of a joint venture with Premier Health Associates, LLC. Premier Health is a multi-specialty physician group, focused on primary-care delivery across 16 locations in Sussex, Warren and Morris Counties in New Jersey and Pike County, Pennsylvania. 

Premier Health will join the Atlantic Health System network of care, expanding Atlantic Health’s ability to provide comprehensive primary care services to the region. 

Premier Health's 38 healthcare professionals conduct approximately 177,000 patient visits annually at 15 physicians offices and one ambulatory surgery center, making it a critical healthcare resource to the community. Further deepening its ties to Atlantic Health, Premier Health will implement Atlantic Health’s instance of the Epic electronic health record (EHR) platform at the beginning of 2025. 

Under the terms of the joint venture, Atlantic Health System will be the majority owner of the new organization, which will retain the title of Premier Health Associates.
