A MESSAGE FROM LEADERSHIP
Celebrating a Good Year
T
ime really does fly. Already, a year has passed since we first announced our partnership with Rutgers University, one of the nation’s leading public educators, to create a new state of health in New Jersey. We’re thrilled by how much already has been accomplished and how our partnership is benefiting patients and communities across the state. And we’re energized by our plans for the future. Our medical group includes hundreds of primary care and specialty physicians with over 200 locations across the state. Our partnership with Rutgers gives each of these physicians seamless access to the strength of our combined, state-of-the-science medical expertise, services and treatments. One of the most exciting things to come out of our partnership with Rutgers so far is the recently announced creation of a dedicated cancer hospital, to be built in New Brunswick on the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital campus. This new cancer center of excellence will take on the most complex cases, enabling more cancer patients to stay in New Jersey close to family and friends for treatment. At Jersey City Medical Center, our capability to fight cancer has been significantly enhanced by our partnership with Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey—the state’s only NCI-Designated Comprehensive Cancer Center. Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey specialists are serving patients right on our campus, providing close-to-home access to the latest treatment and clinical trials. And working with Rutgers Health and Barnabas Health Medical Group, JCMC’s Outpatient Services at Colony Plaza has expanded to offer comprehensive outpatient services and the first-of-its-kind medical and surgical practice to Hudson County. Together, we specialize in excellence. We look forward to bringing you many more benefits as we continue to hardwire Rutgers across the RWJBarnabas Health system. Yours in good health,
