Chair, Department of Psychiatry for Morristown Medical Center

Center of Excellence

The generosity of the Foundation for Morristown Medical Center donor community helps to fuel advancements in caring for patients across the behavioral health spectrum through the Psychiatric and Behavioral Health Center of Excellence.

Behavioral Health Assessment Center

Philanthropy from donors including Crum & Forster, the Gagnon Family Foundation, Jennifer and Alan Fournier, O’Toole Scrivo, LLC, Katie Simon and Brace Krag, Foundation trustee Glenn Yarnis and Marcie Yarnis and many others facilitated the creation of the Behavioral Health Assessment Center at Morristown Medical Center. The center cares for children, adolescents and adults who need short-term outpatient psychiatric treatment but do not require the services of an emergency department.

True North Veteran’s Support Fund

Atlantic Health System’s True North initiative provides mental health outreach services for at-risk veterans living in northern New Jersey. Established in 2017 and made possible by support from donors such as the Nicholas J. and Anna K. Bouras Foundation, this unique care program combines behavioral health interventions and other therapies to assess, treat and support the psychosocial needs of veterans living in our communities.
