Short Hills neighborhoods and landmarks we serve
Sage serves Short Hills residents from across the section — Old Short Hills neighborhoods, families along Hobart Avenue and Hartshorn Drive, residents near the Short Hills Mall (which sits between Short Hills and Millburn), and homes near the South Mountain Reservation. Many Short Hills families value continuity with a smaller, independently-owned clinic where they see the same providers, rather than rotating through larger hospital-affiliated urgent care chains.
Schools and student athletes from Short Hills
Short Hills students attend Millburn High School (the Millers), Millburn Middle School, and one of several elementary schools — Glenwood, Hartshorn, Deerfield, South Mountain, and Wyoming. We see student athletes from all of these for NJSIAA sports physicals ($50, same-visit form completion) and in-season sports injuries. We also see students from Pingry, Newark Academy, Far Brook School, and other area private schools.
