Message from the Chief

Our twelve teams of physicians and advanced practice nurses care for more than 250 patients daily including general medical admissions, patients belonging to the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, and patients admitted to the Cardiothoracic Surgery service, Neurosurgery service, Renal transplant service, Gastrointestinal service, and many other specialty services. Many local community physicians use our services for their patients, and we will be in frequent communication with your primary physician about your condition during your stay. The NTHS, staffed by our Physician-APN team of clinicians, has achieved excellent patient outcomes, including high patient satisfaction scores, and reduced length of stays for our high acuity patients at RWJUH.

Our Hospital Medicine Division also runs a Post-Acute Service, caring for patients at area post-acute facilities taking discharges from RWJUH. This service manages and coordinates care for patients in the post-acute facilities ensuring a rapid and safe handoff to area primary care clinicians, while reducing hospital readmissions.Our Hospital Medicine Division also runs a Post-Acute Service, caring for patients at area post-acute facilities taking discharges from RWJUH.

Please call upon us at any time. While no one wants to be in the hospital, you can rest assured that during your stay at RWJUH we will make you our first priority and work to ensure your care is the very best.
