In late July 2025, Dr. Mehmet Oz, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), visited AtlantiCare. Dr. Oz’s visit included a tour of Atlantic City, with stops at AtlantiCare’s medical facilities, regional educational institutions, and community outreach sites, including AtlantiCare LIFE Connection, which is the only New Jersey PACE organization based in a federally qualified health center.
Following the tour, Dr. Oz joined a private roundtable with leaders from healthcare, government, education, and technology to discuss how national programs like Medicare and Medicaid remain vital to the communities served by regional health systems. The conversation centered on how evolving federal policy intersects with the day-to-day delivery of care—and the need for reforms that improve access, reduce complexity, and strengthen equity.
