Hackensack Meridian Health at Jersey Shore University Medical Center (JSUMC) has been awarded the Gold EVAL (Electric Vehicle Adoption Leadership) Certification, recognizing their outstanding commitment to sustainable transportation.

EVAL certification is the national mark of excellence in workplace transportation, recognizing organizations that lead the way in clean commuting solutions. EVAL certification offers high-profile recognition to employers that promote smart mobility options for their employees.

“We are thrilled to receive the EVAL Gold certification,” says Annamarie Cutronea, VP of Support Service Operations at JSUMC. “Hackensack Meridian Health – Jersey Shore University Medical Center is dedicated to providing a safe and healthy environment for our patients, staff, and visitors. This certification underscores our commitment to reducing our environmental impact and fostering a more sustainable future.”

With the EV market expected to reach 350 million vehicles by 2030, preparing your

workplace to offer convenient charging boosts team satisfaction and solves a major EV

adoption challenge: accessibility. Becoming EV-ready is a valuable benefit for both

employees and the company.

Hospitals and medical centers are increasingly becoming early adopters of electric vehicles (EVs) and EV charging infrastructure. Their ample parking facilities, robust electrical infrastructure, and the longer average stay times of employees and patients make Level 1 or 2 chargers an ideal and cost-effective solution. Given that vehicle pollution is a significant public health concern, reducing vehicle emissions directly contributes to preventative healthcare.

Integrating electric vehicle charging infrastructure is not only a practical step toward sustainability for healthcare facilities, but also a valuable component of enhancing patient care, boosting employee retention, fostering community engagement, and reducing fleet costs.
