RWJBarnabas Health
RWJBarnabas Health is a network of independent healthcare providers in New Jersey, based out of West Orange. Members include academic centers, acute care facilities, and research hospitals. The goals of the network include collaboration on educational and research programs.
RWJBarnabas Health was created through the 2015 merger of the Robert Wood Johnson Health System and the Saint Barnabas Health Care System.
History
In 2015, Saint Barnabas Health Care System and Robert Wood Johnson Health System signed an agreement which outlines the merger between these two health systems. Once complete, the transaction created New Jersey’s largest health care system and one of the largest in the nation. The New Jersey Attorney General needed to review the deal before it was official, with the expectation that the merger would be completed in 2016.[1] On March 30, 2016 the two health systems officially merged and formed RWJBarnabas Health.[2]
