Virtua Health is a non-profit healthcare system in southern New Jersey that operates a network of hospitals, surgery centers, physician practices, and more. Virtua is South Jersey's largest health care provider. The main headquarters are located in Marlton. Virtua began as the West Jersey Health System in 1885 in Camden, New Jersey. In October 1998, Memorial Health Alliance and West Jersey Health System merged to create Virtua Health, the largest healthcare provider in South Jersey. Former President and CEO Richard Miller led the merger. Miller instituted the philosophies and values currently used by the company. He also adopted the widely used business strategy known as Six Sigma, making Virtua one of the first healthcare systems to use its problem-solving techniques. In 2017, Dennis Pullin assumed the role of president and CEO upon Miller's retirement. In 2018, Virtua signed an agreement to purchase Our Lady of Lourdes Medical Center in Camden and Lourdes Medical Center of Burlington County. On July 1, 2019 the two Lourdes Medical Centers joined Virtua and now operate as Virtua Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital and Virtua Willingboro Hospital. In January 2022, Virtua and Rowan University announced an academic affiliation that includes the newly named Virtua Health College of Medicine & Health Sciences of Rowan University.
