Saint Clare's Health System

Dover, Denville, Boonton, & Sussex New Jersey

Saint Clare’s has been serving the people of northwestern New Jersey for over 115 years. What began as a single facility is now the area’s largest provider of community-based health care and behavioral health services, with hospitals in Denville, Boonton, Dover, and Sussex, an imaging center in Parsippany, and outpatient centers throughout Morris and Sussex counties providing many health care career opportunities. Before it was a hospital, Saint Clare’s was a promise: a promise to serve our communities to the best of our ability, and with the most advanced medicine available. That promise is at the heart of the faith-based healing mission that the Sisters of the Sorrowful Mother established in Denville more than a century ago. Now, as a member of Catholic Health Initiatives, we’re turning that promise into practice in everything we do—with the latest technology, new and expanded facilities, and a growing staff of outstanding doctors, nurses, and health professionals. In a recent New Jersey Hospital Compare Report, Saint Clare’s was ranked among the best hospitals, scoring ahead of both New Jersey and U.S. averages in all health measures.

One more way we are turning PROMISE into PRACTICE…
