History
Bayshore Medical Center was founded in 1962. The center had major construction programs from 1977 to 1984. It started with a emergency room and general office expansion. The construction also added the center's north wing, adding 50 medical-surgical beds in addition to the renovation of all support services. Bayshore Medical Center's bed complement increased to 218.
In 1988, an Bayshore Medical Health Care Center opened with 120 skilled care beds. Later, a second floor was added with 60 residential beds. In 1992, 7 beds were added, increasing the beds to 225. Then, in 1996, an 11-bed long-term care ventilator unit was added. A state-of-the-art cardiac catheterization and digital angiography suite was made and opened in 1997. The Willows at Holmdel opened on the Bayshore campus in July 1999. In 2009, the center got a Gold Seal Accreditation from The Joint Commission. In September, the center joined the Meridian Health Family. In April 2012, Bayshore Medical Center established a pediatric care center, which treats children in a kid-friendly environment.
