A Message to the Community The first moments of new parenthood are some of the most memorable. At Meridian Health, we strive to provide new families with a comfortable experience and the best care. Complications during pregnancy can arise without warning, which makes the choice of where to give birth an important one. In this issue, you’ll read about some remarkable births at our hospitals. Christine Quigley found herself facing a life-threatening emergency. Tascha Krapf embarked on a pregnancy while managing type 1 diabetes. Kristine Zellman’s complicated medical history made her third pregnancy high risk. All of them received expert care while delivering beautiful, healthy babies. This fall also brings a focus on the seniors in our communities. Meridian Health and Geisinger Health Plan have partnered to bring Geisinger Gold — a provider-sponsored Medicare Advantage product that is ranked as number six in the country — to seniors in Monmouth and Ocean counties. Seniors will now have access to a high-quality, cost-effective option for Medicare coverage that’s not currently available in this region, including better management of chronic conditions, better health care outcomes, and better access to covered services. The product was introduced in the fall, with plan benefits becoming effective January 2013. You can learn much more at MeridianGeisingerGold.com. No matter what your age or stage, Meridian Health is here for you.
