Brick Jersey Shore Medical Supply Hub – Route 70, Garden State Parkway & Barrier Island Bridges
Brick anchors Ocean County’s hospital network, barrier island EMS, Joint Base missions, and tourism corridor. Our LAC Health counter inside Walmart #1977 at 1872 Route 88 keeps Hackensack Meridian Ocean Medical Center, Jersey Shore University Medical Center, RWJBarnabas Community MC, South Star air medical, Brick EMS, Point Pleasant Beach lifeguards, Seaside Heights events, and NJ EMS Task Force coastal pods supplied without waiting on inland warehouses.
Within 25 miles are Ocean Medical Center, Jersey Shore University Medical Center, Community Medical Center, Monmouth Medical South, Point Pleasant Canal, Seaside Heights boardwalk, Route 35 bridges, and Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. Nor’easters, rip-current rescues, Parkway pileups, wildfire smoke, and festival surges demand a “medical suppliers near me” counter tuned to coastal ICS—this Brick hub delivers.
Brick balances year-round families with summer tourism, fishing fleets, and rehabilitation centers. LAC Health supports that diversity with generator-backed cold rooms, bilingual (English/Spanish/Polish) paperwork, and MOUs with Ocean County OEM, NJ Task Force 1, and barrier island fire districts.
