Verizon Wireless has been an NJHA Strategic Partner since 1997 and has provided substantial savings to healthcare employees for wireless phones and accessories.

Verizon currently helps our healthcare professionals by providing greater access to treatment information, along with real-time access to critical patient data in emergencies and life-empowering assistive technologies – all in a secure HIPAA-compliant environment. Verizon and its strategic alliances can now offer a range of mobile devices and solutions, all designed to improve collaboration between patients and caregivers at the point of care.

Verizon Wireless offers the largest and most reliable 4G LTE network. This strong backbone supports core technologies for:

• Optimal network performance so you can transmit large volumes of data and content
  
  
• Outstanding cloud and IT infrastructure services capable of supporting resource-demanding healthcare applications
  
  
• Extended reach of your physicians who are mobile so that they can effectively collaborate and care for patients in a timely manner - with secure, remote connections to your IT resources
  
  
• Advanced security protocols and controls that can improve your ability to protect your facility from potential security threats

For NJHA hospitals, Verizon conducts quarterly business reviews to drive greater cost efficiencies.   Now in its 10^th year, Verizon also holds an annual education symposium in Atlantic City so that hospitals can observe healthcare technology trends on a regional and national level.

NJHA carefully monitors the industry to assure that this valuable program is highly competitive and conducts regular contract renegotiations. As always, we welcome and value the feedback of our members so that we may strengthen this program for future years.
