We're proud to share that CentraState Healthcare System has been named to the New Jersey Influenza Honor Roll by the NJ Department of Health for the 2024-25 flu season — and even more exciting, we’re one of just five organizations in the state to receive Top Honors. 🏆

This recognition highlights our strong commitment to protecting our community through flu education and prevention.

Together, we're making New Jersey healthier.
