The Jersey City Medical Center is a hospital in Jersey City, New Jersey. The hospital has had different facilities in the city. It is currently located on a 15-acre campus at Grand Street and Jersey Avenue overlooking New York Harbor and Liberty State Park. The campus includes three facilities: the Wilzig Hospital, the Provident Bank Ambulatory Center, and the Cristie Kerr Women's Health Center. [1] The hospital serves as a regional referral and teaching hospital.
Jersey City Medical Center (JCMC) is a teaching affiliate and a member of Americas Essential Hospitals.
The hospital began as the "Charity Hospital" and was renamed the Jersey City Hospital in 1885. The formal dedication of the Medical Center Complex, the B. S. Pollack Hospital, was on October 2, 1936, with Franklin D. Roosevelt dedicating the building.
In addition to the surgery building and the maternity hospital, the campus included the nurses' residence (Murdoch Hall), hospital for chest diseases (Pollock), a psychiatric hospital, and an outpatient clinic. The Medical Center's services were free. From 1956 to 1966, JCMC was the home of the medical school of Seton Hall College of Medicine and Dentistry, the predecessor to the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey formerly located in neighboring Newark. The Art Deco buildings of the former JCMC complex were renovated and became The Beacon Jersey City in 2016.
Jersey City Medical Center was one of the first medical centers in the United States and the first in New Jersey. By the 1940s, the medical center had grown to become the third-largest medical center in the world. [2] Many people in Northern New Jersey still call it “The Medical Center.” The hospital also has teaching affiliations with the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine and St. George's University School of Medicine.
In 2004, JCMC moved to new quarters at Grand Street and Jersey Avenue designed by Philadelphia A/E firm Ballinger and RBSD of New York. The campus is across the street from the Jersey Avenue station of the Hudson–Bergen Light Rail which provides connections to ferries to New York City, PATH trains and the Liberty Science Center. The facility, currently operated by RWJBarnabas Health, is the region's state-designated Level II trauma center and the only hospital in Hudson County to do open heart surgery. Several additional buildings are being planned for the site. [2]
In 2022, the medical center opened a 60,000 sq ft (5,600 m2) $100 million expansion of it's Emergency Department that included a new pediatric emergency department. [3]
JCMC received among the highest scores in Hudson County in the New Jersey Department of Health's 2009 Hospital Performance Report. The Center scored in the top 10 percent of hospitals in the state for their care of heart attacks, surgical improvements, and heart failure, receiving the second-highest score behind North Bergen's Palisades Medical Center. JCMC received a 95 in pneumonia treatment, 97 in heart attack, heart failure and surgical care, percentages that represent the number of patients treated properly and released. [4]
The JCMC comprises two main hospital facilities, the Wilzig Hospital (named after Siggi Wilzig) and the Provident Bank Ambulatory Center. [5]
While not directly connected to the JCMC, a 2.5-acre parcel owned by the city is planned to become a proton therapy treatment center, [6] [7] though the deal is contingent on tax-abatements the city is reluctant to give. [8]
In October 2012 the JCMC announced that it would implement an on-line appointment service for non-threatening emergency room treatment, becoming the first hospital in the New York metro area to do so. [9]
