Historic Heights University Hospital faces closure after 153 years of service
Heights University Hospital, serving the community for 153 years, is facing closure. The owners have submitted a Certificate of Need for Closure to the state's Department of Health, citing lack of funding.
The hospital's future hangs in the balance as the state has refused to provide critical funding needed to keep it operational. Despite the hospital's long history and vital role in the community, the state has not stepped in to save it. The Governor of New Jersey, Phil Murphy, oversees health policies, but no specific name has been given for the president of the Department of Health who makes decisions on hospital financing.
The closure of Heights University Hospital is imminent, leaving the community without a vital healthcare provider. The state's refusal to provide funding has sealed its fate, ending its 153-year service to the community.
