A Commitment to excellence and growth.
WORLD-CLASS INITIATIVES TO ENSURE A HEALTHIER COMMUNITY.
Chilton Hospital’s reputation for superior, highly personalized care is well-earned.
With aggressive and thoughtful leadership, a commitment to the community and a
dedication to excellence, Chilton stands as a brilliant example of what a true community
hospital can achieve. However, the future awaits – demanding ever more in the name
of progress. With this in mind, our bold strategic plan sets forth ambitious goals that
will secure our standing as a world-class community hospital for years to come.
These forward-looking goals include:
• Converting more than two-thirds of patient rooms into private spaces
• Providing advanced technologies that maximize patient care
• Building ambulatory centers that optimize patient convenience
• Enhancing a dedicated orthopedic center
• Creating an electronic data management system that streamlines, improves and
personalizes patient care
Chilton’s greatest chapter is now being written.
We welcome you to be part of our story.
The Campaign for
“If there is one thing that heartens me as we put our new plans in place, it’s the fact that our supporters so vividly recognize our value to the community.”
Deborah Zastocki, DNP, RN President/CEO, Chilton Hospital
F ocusing on compassion and our patients’ individual needs, Chilton Hospital has
transformed itself into an invaluable community resource. We have become the
destination of choice for patients with wide-ranging conditions, and have distinguished
ourselves with a wealth of programs designed to keep you out of the hospital. Our strong
connection to the community has paid rich dividends: Castle Connolly Medical LTD – an
organization that identifies the country’s best practitioners – recently named Chilton one of
the best institutions of its size in New Jersey.
Accomplishments include our enhanced Emergency Department and Primary Stroke
Center – both ranked among the nation’s best. We now offer a Total Joint Center and
exemplary maternity care. Chilton patients can be assured that they are in caring, skilled
hands equipped with the latest technologies.
The input of the community is important to us and has helped fashion many of our latest
initiatives. As an example, the recommendations of our community advisors have led to
many of our outreach programs that focus on topics such as nutrition, exercise and more.
We are now embarking on investments to further transform the Hospital. We’re turning
more than two-thirds of our inpatient rooms into private spaces, knowing that single-
occupancy speeds healing. We’re targeting cancer and orthopedic issues, which so many
community members are grappling with. And, at new ambulatory facilities in Hewitt and
Wayne, our patients will find comfortable, attractive treatment centers.
If there is one thing that heartens me as we put our new plans in place, it’s the fact that our
supporters so vividly recognize our value to the community. We have become part of your
family, and have already received several sizeable contributions. We’re off to a fantastic
start and couldn’t be more grateful.
Now we need to move past start. With so much momentum – and with so many exceptionally
talented people working at Chilton Hospital – we are beautifully positioned to further
distinguish ourselves. Please join us in preparing Chilton Hospital for an outstanding
future serving our community.
The Campaign for
“Chilton patients enjoy the same expertise they’d experience at the fi nest institutions – but here they’re taken care of by doctors, not residents.”
Dov Gorshein, MD, FACPChair of Chilton’s Radiation Oncology Department
Board Certifi ed in Internal Medicine, Hematology, Medical Oncology and Radiation Oncology
A hospital is only as good as its doctors. And at Chilton, attracting the best and
the brightest is an ongoing initiative. Dr. Dov Gorshein, who chairs the Hospital’s
Radiation Oncology Department, is a shining example of our success. Trained at
Harvard Medical School, Dr. Gorshein possesses a rare combination of expertise, experience
and dedication to the community – qualities that complement and advance the Hospital’s
critical mission. While he could have practiced medicine virtually anywhere, he chose
Chilton. “It was the promise of creating my own department that could serve a community
of my neighbors in the best way possible,” he says.
Dr. Gorshein’s reputation has helped Chilton Hospital raise the bar by attracting other
doctors who share his uncompromising standard of excellence and belief in a team
approach – the same approach employed by many prestigious teaching hospitals.
“Treatment doesn’t begin until every professional has voiced his or her point of view,
and we’ve discussed all their perspectives,” Gorshein says.
Zeljka Nigrin knew it was a terrific opportunity. Her husband was being promoted
from a good job in the U.K. to a great one in the U.S. But she was 35 weeks
pregnant and, despite the fact that all her tests were perfect, dozens of local
obstetricians refused to accept her as a patient. Only Dr. John Scian, at Chilton Hospital,
was willing to accept a patient more than 20 weeks along.
Nigrin was thoroughly impressed by Chilton’s Mother Baby Center, which ranks among
the top New Jersey maternity departments in patient satisfaction. She noted the doctors’
outstanding backgrounds, the excellent neo-natal capabilities and the tasteful, private
rooms with pull-out beds for husbands who want to spend the night. Her delivery went very
smoothly – but had there been a need for special medical services for newborns, Nigrin
knew that the staff at Chilton was prepared. She found the nurses extremely supportive,
showing new mothers how to pump milk, for example, and giving them places to store it.
“I got a really nice massage before I left,” she said. She and her husband also enjoyed a
lovely gourmet dinner, complete with a fancy tablecloth and fine china.
Dr. Scian was happy to help the couple. “Working in a small community, you’re connected
to the people you take care of. They’re real people with real needs,” he said. Nigrin was also
delighted. “Dr. Scian was great,” she said. “I can’t thank him enough.”
Chilton’s Mother Baby Center ranks among the top New Jersey maternity departments in patient satisfaction.
Emergency Care: STAT
T he time it takes to respond to emergencies is critical. In many cases, lives depend
on it. Chilton Hospital answers the call with a host of industry-leading emergency
services. The Hospital has been recognized for its unsurpassed emergency stroke
and cardiac care. Also standing by are a dedicated pediatric emergency department and
a fleet of mobile intensive-care units that rush medical specialists to patients needing
immediate life-saving care. In addition, these units are able to transmit patients’ vital
statistics back to the hospital so the appropriate care can be administered upon arrival.
“We make every eff ort to engage people psychologically, emotionally and intellectually. It’s very important to keep the mind active, especially as you age.” Joan Beloff Director, Community Outreach/New Vitality
Even if members of our community never set foot in Chilton Hospital, they may well
be benefi ting from our many activities. Thousands of people each year participate
in our exercise programs, cooking classes and discussions – all aimed at building
community health.
Called New Vitality, this award-winning, dynamic outreach program geared toward adults
fi fty and older has created a true community among its participants. “We engage people
psychologically, emotionally and intellectually,” says Joan Beloff, Director, Community
Outreach/New Vitality. “It’s very important to keep the mind active, especially as you age.”
While many of the programs are held at the Hospital, they are also held at other convenient
locations in the community, including the YMCA, the public library and local restaurants
and businesses. Most of the staff live in the community and therefore have insight into
which programs their neighbors are looking for. There’s also a yearly survey and a senior
advisory board working to develop programming relevant to today’s older adult. “We want
them to embrace healthy living,” says Beloff.
Certainly, New Vitality’s purpose is to promote health, but it also makes a difference when
people become ill. “If they’ve been involved with the Hospital already, they’ve seen how
supportive and caring we are,” Beloff says. “People tell us they feel comfortable coming
here and using the wonderful services we offer.”
The Campaign for
The Campaign for
Advanced diagnostic and treatment options.
Advanced technology is the hallmark of a world-class hospital. In expert hands, leading-edge
equipment has the power to diagnose, treat, and in many cases – help cure. Chilton Hospital
has long recognized the importance of keeping abreast of the latest technological
breakthroughs – adding the latest proven equipment as soon as possible. Our state-of-the-art MRI
and CT scanning equipment, catheterization lab and linear accelerator are exemplary of our
commitment to offering our community the health care tools they need to live long and healthy lives.
At Chilton we recognize that technology alone cannot win the battle against disease. That’s why we
optimize our imaging technology through a relationship with Montclair Radiology, a leader in the fi eld
of diagnostic imaging. On site at Chilton, distinguished doctors from Montclair Radiology help raise our
care to the highest possible level.
Th e highest quality care, delivered in a healing environment.
Patients’ comfort and peace of mind are critical to the healing process. That’s why
Chilton is embarking on an initiative to enhance the patient experience that’s at
once therapeutic, practical and aesthetic. Two-thirds of our patient rooms are being
converted to single occupancy. These new rooms allow patients all the luxuries and benefi ts
of a highly personalized environment.
Redecorated and outfi tted with amenities such as fl at-screen TVs, sleeping areas for visitors
and larger closet space, this ‘spa-like’ approach allows for greater privacy and patient
control. Additionally, single patient rooms have been shown to reduce infection, speed
recovery and enhance critical patient care. These new enhancements are based on our
experience and research, as well as suggestions received from our patients, visitors and
hospital staff. Our goal is to raise the level of personalized care while also creating the
most relaxing health care experience possible. At Chilton, we’re adding lifestyle to our
healing style.
Comfort
The Campaign for
“I felt like I had the whole Chilton team supporting me.” Marilyn Weinstein
Former Patient and Breast Cancer Survivor
With a family history of breast cancer and a previous lumpectomy, Marilyn
Weinstein had been getting mammograms at Chilton Hospital for 11 years.
It was during a follow-up ultrasound that a radiology technician at the
Comprehensive Breast Center identifi ed a cancerous tumor that could have been
all-too-easily overlooked.
After surgery at Manhattan’s Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital, Weinstein returned to
Chilton for radiation therapy. “Without Chilton, I would have had to go back and forth to
the Upper East Side fi ve days a week for seven weeks,” says Weinstein. “I feel a
tremendous level of comfort in the Comprehensive Breast Center,” says Weinstein, who
is now cancer-free. She has seen fi rsthand Chilton’s expertise with matters ranging from
prevention, to routine check ups, to breakthrough approaches to diagnosis and treatment.
“I can’t say it was great having cancer, but I felt like I had the whole Chilton team
supporting me.”
Commitment
At the Total Joint Center, we are freeing patients from pain through extensive one-on-one orthopedic care.
More and more people are leading active lifestyles that include sports and
fitness programs. While this is a healthy trend, it can take its toll on joints
and limbs.
Chilton Hospital has witnessed a steady increase in patients requiring orthopedic care,
and we have responded with our new Total Joint Center – a dedicated wing staffed and
designed specifically to address those issues.
Chilton planned the Center to be the best of its kind in the region. Key staff members
hail from nationally-recognized practices (the foot and ankle team also treats professional
football players). Procedures including hip and knee replacements performed at the Center
free patients from recurring pain and return them to their normal, active lifestyles as soon
as possible.
True to the Chilton mission, the Center takes a highly personalized approach with every
patient. Prior to procedures, nurses with special orthopedic training give patients extensive
one-on-one guidance on what they can expect before, during and after the procedure. Also,
patients get extensive help from physical and occupational therapists. Their invaluable tips,
exercises and tools help patients rebuild muscle strength and re-master day-to-day skills.
Patients regain their strength in spacious private rooms equipped with flat-screen TVs,
free Wifi and daybeds visitors can use to spend the night. They enjoy an outdoor patio,
and dining reminiscent of hotel room service. There’s even a special celebratory dessert
for each patient and a guest – Chilton’s gesture of congratulation.
The Campaign for
Chilton is bringing care closer to the community.
Chilton’s ambulatory centers are the perfect option for those patients who
require only a test or minor procedure. This alternative puts physicians, labs and
imaging capabilities right in our patients’ neighborhoods. Our fi rst facility has
already opened in Hewitt, and we are making plans for a second site in Wayne. Experts on
a wide variety of ailments will be available to provide their insights on testing, diagnosis
and treatment. Our specialists also stand ready to involve family members – discussing
support services, follow-up care and any appropriate lifestyle changes.
Also, we are planning to implement innovative wellness practices at these centers – helping
to ensure our community’s health long into the future. Linked to Chilton’s database, our
new ambulatory centers are being designed from the ground up to provide leading-edge
care, enhanced patient comfort and increased convenience – with greater effi ciencies
of cost. These exciting new facilities will allow us to fulfi ll our mission to bring the best
health care possible directly to our community.

Chilton physicians gain quick access to state-of-the-art knowledge and techniques.
When it comes to providing superior care, accurate and timely information is
key. Whether this information pertains to prescriptions, vital statistics or
procedures, it’s critical that important data be readily accessible by
doctors and other medical personnel involved. Chilton Hospital has embraced new laws
requiring doctors to compile and save patients’ medical records electronically. To that end,
we are building a secure and comprehensive database containing all of our patients’ records.
“The process will reduce error,” said Reza Farhangfar, MD, who is spearheading this Chilton
initiative. “Doctors will only need to enter data once, electronically, so other people will no
longer be copying and deciphering their handwriting,” he explained. “And with patients’
entire medical history in one place, we’ll know our patients even better than we do now.”
Dr. Farhangfar is also compiling best practices for Chilton physicians to use in combating
specific illnesses. His work will provide physicians with instant access to the cutting-edge
research underlying each set of best practices – giving Chilton patients further assurance
that their medical care is absolutely state-of-the-art.
The Campaign for

“Time is of the essence in treating many conditions, and that in itself makes community hospitals
invaluable,” says Dave Washburn, Campaign Chair. The quality of care is also critical, and on that
score, he believes that Chilton is superb. “The administration and staff are of the highest caliber,
and they’ve effected important changes in areas ranging from the Emergency Department to the
Breast Center.”
The Chief Financial Offi cer of a medical products company, Washburn is married to a
long-standing Chilton nurse, Gail Washburn. Now in the Obstetrics Clinic and utilizing her
Spanish so she can better serve her patients there, Ms. Washburn led the couple to their
leadership role in the Foundation. “We have both been extremely impressed by the Hospital’s
commitment to ongoing improvement,” she explains. “Chilton is bound and determined to bring
our families the full promise of new medical technologies.”
