Rutgers Health

In 2016, the Rutgers University Board of Governors approved the establishment of Rutgers Health as a new health care provider organization and the clinical arm of the university. Rutgers Health works in coordination with Rutgers Health Group, a nonprofit subsidiary that serves as an integrated, interprofessional faculty practice plan with more than 1,000 Rutgers-based clinicians. It also collaborates with Rutgers Health Network, a consortium of teaching hospitals, community centers, medical groups, wellness centers, and other affiliated partners that provide care through their relationship with Rutgers.
