Lourdes Health System
The Lourdes Health System was a pair of two hospitals, Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden, New Jersey and Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County in Willingboro, New Jersey. It was founded in 1950 by the Franciscan Sisters of Allegany and was a member of Trinity Health. In July 2019, Virtua Health purchased both locations from Trinity Health and renamed them.
Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center is a 410-bed teaching hospital that opened in 1950. It is located at 1600 Haddon Avenue in Camden.
Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County is a 249-bed community hospital located at 218 A Sunset Road in Willingboro.
The Lourdes Wellness Center, founded in 1979, combines mainstream medicine, alternative therapies, and spirituality to promote healthy lifestyles. It offers acupuncture, massage, yoga, health-education programs, and community-based services. The center also houses an integrative family medicine practice and the Lourdes Institute of Wholistic Studies, which offers programs in massage therapy, reflexology, and yoga teacher training. It is located in Collingswood.
The Our Lady of Lourdes School of Nursing opened in 1961 and has graduated over 1,200 nurses. It is located in Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center's critical care tower and is the only Catholic-oriented nursing school in southern New Jersey. Students have the opportunity to earn a Diploma in Nursing and an associate degree in science from Camden County College. The school is accredited by the New Jersey Board of Nursing and the National League for Nursing.
Lourdes Health System is known for its outreach programs, which aim to assist the less fortunate. These programs have received recognition, including the 1995 Foster G. McGaw Prize from the American Hospital Association. One of the outreach programs is Project H.O.P.E. (Homeless Outreach Program Enrichment), which provides medical, social, and advocacy services for the homeless of Camden, New Jersey through clinics and a mobile unit.
