Shore Medical Center is proud to celebrate our March Employee of the Month, Kevin Albright! 👏

Kevin is a Level II Service Desk Technician in our IT department, pictured on the right with Shore CIO Fred Banner. Since joining our team in 2023, Kevin has become a steady, reliable presence behind the scenes, making sure our physicians, nurses, and staff have the technology they need to care for our community without interruption.

In his role, Kevin does far more than troubleshoot. From supporting cybersecurity efforts to resolving complex technical issues, he helps keep our entire organization running smoothly. During the recent 5th Stainton nursing floor renovation, Kevin led the reinstallation of IT equipment with incredible attention to detail, meeting strict standards and setting a new benchmark for the space.

But what truly stands out is how Kevin shows up for others.

“Kevin exemplifies our core value of doing the right thing, always,” shared Christine Gray, Administrative Director of IT Infrastructure and Operations. “He approaches every interaction with professionalism, accountability, and a genuine desire to help.”

Outside of Shore, Kevin is a devoted husband, father, and son. He also serves as an Associate Pastor at Abundant Life Worship Center Church, where he leads the “Life in the City” Outreach Ministry, reflecting his deep commitment to serving his community.

We’re grateful to have Kevin on our team. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition! Please enjoy reading more about Kevin here: https://www.shoremedicalcenter.org/news/shore-medical-center-names-kevin-albright-its-march-employee-month

Thank you to the Police Activities League of Egg Harbor Township & Atlantic County Robotics Team for donating custom-designed fidget toys to support neurodiverse patients in Shore Medical Center’s sensory care programs! These students didn’t just donate, they designed and produced each item themselves using 3D printing technology.

“Hats off to these outstanding students whose hard work and dedication made this project possible,” said Hector Tavarez, Founder and Executive Director of the Police Activities League of Egg Harbor Township and Atlantic County. “The PAL Robotics Program is highly competitive, with our students regularly competing at the highest level on the national stage, but this project was especially meaningful. It gave them the opportunity to take on a challenge close to home and use their skills to directly support patients in their own community. We are incredibly proud of their commitment to giving back in such a thoughtful and impactful way.”

Beyond her professional achievements, Maria cherishes time with her large family and is active in her church community. We are proud to honor Maria with the Guardian Angel recognition, celebrating her dedication and the meaningful difference she makes every day.

Last night at Resorts Casino, students from the Shore Medical Center School of Radiologic Technology participated in the Emma Wolfe Student Bee, an exciting and challenging competition sponsored by the New Jersey Educators in Radiologic Imaging (NJERI) and the New Jersey Society of Radiologic Technologists (NJSRT).

In this fast-paced, round-robin style event, students are put to the test on ARRT radiology content, answering multiple-choice questions by raising placards in front of judges and a live audience.

With 10 schools represented and approximately 150 students competing, the level of talent was truly impressive.

We are proud to share that our school's own Jenny Husta rose to the top, answering every question correctly and emerging as the last student standing and winning the entire competition! 🌟

Jenny, your knowledge, composure, and determination are an inspiration. Congratulations on your outstanding accomplishment! 💙

Happy Autism Acceptance Month from all of us at Shore Medical Center! To us, Autism Acceptance Month is about truly seeing and supporting every patient. It’s about understanding differences, celebrating neurodiversity, and making our hospital a place where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued.

We understand that medical experiences can be overwhelming for patients on the autism spectrum. That’s why we proudly provide sensory-friendly care designed to meet each person’s unique needs:

🏥 Emergency care that reduces stress and sensory overload
😊 Outpatient testing in calm, comfortable environments
🔜 Coming soon: sensory-friendly respiratory therapy and diagnostic imaging, thanks to the generosity of the Eagles Autism Foundation and Mike & Jeannie Monichetti

Autism acceptance in healthcare means seeing the whole person, listening, adapting, and creating an experience that feels safe and supportive. At Shore, we continue to seek new ways to provide patients with care that is personal, compassionate, and inclusive every step of the way.

Doctors’ Day may have been yesterday, but we couldn’t let the month pass without sharing this piece of our history – a story from The Press of Atlantic City in 2000 about Dr. Peter Marvel, one of our founding physicians who helped shape our legacy and who we are today.

Dr. Marvel began caring for patients here in 1933, when the hospital was a small, 60-bed sanitarium. He was quite literally the ‘house physician’ as he also lived in the hospital with his wife when he first arrived. In the article, he describes what it was like to practice during the Great Depression and a very different era of medicine - no antibiotics, no routine immunizations, and physicians serving as true “jacks of all trades.”

Dr. Marvel went on to serve in World War II, returned to Shore, and later opened a practice in Northfield. He delivered more than 500 babies and cared for generations of local families. His approach was deeply personal, always putting people first.

Stories like Dr. Marvel’s remind us that Shore was built on compassion, resilience, and a commitment to doing the right thing - values that still guide us today.

We’re proud to carry Dr. Marvel’s legacy forward. 💜

Doctors' Day is almost here, and we’re taking a moment to recognize some of the physicians who shine at Shore! Today, we’re proud to highlight Dr. Daniel Connors, an ophthalmologist specializing in retinal care, whose skill and dedication help preserve one of our most vital senses - our vision.

Starr Falcone, RN, OR, who works closely with Dr. Connors at Shore Medical Center, shares:

“Dr. Connors is an exceptional, highly skilled surgeon who is both thorough and compassionate in his care. He’s always a pleasure to work with and brings a positive, collaborative spirit to the team. I would confidently recommend him to friends and family. We’re truly fortunate to have such a talented physician caring for our community.”

She rounds on our unit daily, spending real time with patients and families, and truly listens to both them and our nursing staff. Her bedside manner is exceptional - she’s kind, attentive, and genuinely cares. I can’t speak highly enough of her.”
