The Valley Hospital in Paramus

While we are in the first few weeks of our new hospital opening, 2023 was a year of final touches and training! Valley’s nurses and nurse leadership have been instrumental in the development of the hospital, from the early planning stages and design through construction and completion.

About the Facility 

The new 370-bed, 900,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility is the heart of a 40-acre health and wellness campus that unites acute patient care with Valley’s wide range of outpatient services.  

Included on Valley’s comprehensive healthcare campus is Valley’s medical office building located at 140 East Ridgewood Avenue, and the Robert & Audrey Luckow Pavilion, which houses Valley-Mount Sinai Comprehensive Cancer Care, The George R. Jaqua Same Day Services Center, a full-service retail pharmacy, and more.  

Key features include single-patient rooms designed to enhance patient privacy, reduce infection, and provide ample space for patients and their loved ones to spend time together; a “nurse server” in each room that allows for medical supplies and other necessities to be stocked from outside the patient room to minimize distraction and interruptions for patients; technological advancements, including a 75-inch digital footwall in each room and Real-Time Location Systems so patients will know who is walking in their room; an expanded Emergency Department with 80 treatments rooms, including a Rapid Decision Unit; an expanded neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) with single patient rooms in contrast to the traditional open bay concept; and more!

Transforming Tomorrow  

One way Valley kept the community up to date on the features of the new hospital was through the Transforming Tomorrow video series. Launched in 2023, Transforming Tomorrow highlighted the many projects and initiatives that were underway when building the hospital. Each episode featured members of the departments leading to various transformation projects. Check out some key nurse leaders in the playlist below.
