Hackensack Meridian Health (HMH) is an American network of healthcare providers in New Jersey, based out of Edison. Members include academic centers, acute care facilities, and research hospitals. Hackensack Meridian Health aims to create one integrated network for healthcare delivery in New Jersey. The HMH network was formed in 2016 by a merger between Hackensack University Medical Center and Meridian Health. Hackensack Meridian Health is affiliated with the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine and maintains active teaching programs at its hospitals. Since the acquisition of JFK Medical Center in Edison, HMH has now become the largest healthcare provider in New Jersey.{{Cite web|url=https://www.nj.com/healthfit/2018/01/hackensack_meridian_is_njs_largest_hospital_chain.html|title=Hackensack Meridian now N.J.'s largest hospital chain|first=Susan K.|last=Livio|date=2018-01-03|website=nj|language=en|access-date=2020-01-05|archive-date=2020-02-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200221164855/https://www.nj.com/healthfit/2018/01/hackensack_meridian_is_njs_largest_hospital_chain.html|url-status=live}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.nj.com/healthfit/2016/11/another_nj_hospital_merger_jfk_medical_center_with.html|title=Central Jersey hospital to announce merger plans|last1=Livio|first1=Susan K.|first2=Spencer|last2=Kent|date=2016-11-10|website=nj|language=en|access-date=2020-04-18|archive-date=2020-09-26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200926045046/https://www.nj.com/healthfit/2016/11/another_nj_hospital_merger_jfk_medical_center_with.html|url-status=live}}
