But make no mistake, you’ll remain at the center of everything, receiving the service and attention you deserve.


The best of care, close to home.
The Virtua Health & Wellness Center - New Hanover a premier outpatient facility, offers advanced medical imaging and physical therapy in a comfortable, caring environment.


Conveniently located across from Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst military base – we take pride in serving the community that serves us.

Who we serve

Serving active duty and beyond.
Our goal is to remove the barriers that delay health care access for military families. If you are on active duty at Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, we understand that testing and approval requirements can impact deployment.


That's why we've provided expedited access to specialty care by supplementing the services available on base. We streamline the process, fast-track authorizations, and obtain same-day appointments when necessary.

Because if you're serving our nation, you should concentrate on getting well, not worrying about paperwork. That's why our process is simple: just call us and we'll handle the rest! Our navigators are available daily to master the details.

Please note: we regularly work with Tricare and the VA.

At the ready.
Our navigators have long-standing ties with Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, and we understand the needs and concerns of those who serve.


We're here to assist you with:

• Locating and securing appointments and referral services, including specialist care
• Streamlining access to care
• Obtaining appropriate health insurance approvals and pre-authorizations
• Coordinating care and medical records with the base utilization manager, Tricare, and your primary care physician
