NJBIZ Conversations: Brian Gragnolati May 24, 2021
8:24 am
As the operator of some of the state’s most highly regarded hospitals, Atlantic Health System has been deeply involved in the fight against COVID-19 in all its phases. At the peak of the pandemic last spring, the system was treating 900 patients. And since the start of the vaccine rollout, Atlantic has been at the forefront of getting shots in New Jerseyans’ arms, working with the state to run the mega-site in Morris County.
So it’s probably not surprising that Atlantic President and CEO Brian Gragnolati is still cautious about the outlook. NJBIZ recently spoke with Gragnolati about his experience during the pandemic and why residents should not let their guard down just yet.

To be Presented at American College of Cardiology 70th Annual Scientific Sessions, Study Led by Dr. Jordan Safirstein Suggests Keeping Stent Info on Smartphones
May 11, 2021, Morristown, NJ – Fewer than half (48%) of patients receiving a heart stent, or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), had the provided stent card with them when surveyed at a later date, according to researchers at Atlantic Health System’s Morristown Medical Center. Even when they had their stent cards, most patients were unable to identify the type of stent they had, which blood vessel it was in, or the date of the previous procedure. Eighty-eight percent of patients did have their smartphone, however. The study will be presented as a moderated poster the morning of May 15, during the American College of Cardiology 70th Annual Scientific Session (ACC.21).
