History

Saint Peter's University Hospital opened in 1907 as a 25-bed hospital on Somerset and Hardenburgh streets in New Brunswick. Saint Peter's moved to its current location at 254 Easton Avenue in New Brunswick in 1929 as a 125-bed facility. In 1959, a three-wing 349-bed addition was constructed. In 1976, a five-story tower containing the emergency department, radiology department, operating and recovery suite, and a 40-bed nursing unit was completed. In 1991, The Women and Children's Pavilion was added. In 1999 the Center for Ambulatory Resources (CARES) building was constructed. New Telemetry, Maternity and Oncology units were completed in 2008. [5]

In late 2019, it was announced that the leaders of RWJBarnabas Health and the leaders of Saint Peter's Healthcare System signed a letter of intent to explore a merger. [6] [7] [8] The preliminary plan calls for significant investments in Saint Peter's by RWJBarnabas Health to help expand the outpatient services currently provided by Saint Peter's. [9] [10] Saint Peter's would remain a Catholic hospital and continue its sponsorship by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metuchen. [11] [12] [13] According to administrations from both hospitals, the two parties have been in discussions for a while and believe they could both benefit from the merger. [14] [15] The merger would also strengthen education services provided at the two already Rutgers affiliated hospitals. [16]

On September 10, 2020, it was announced that the health systems had signed a definitive agreement that the two systems would merge. [17] [18] The merger would create the largest academic medical center in the state. After the signing of the agreement, the potential partnership began a period of review by state and federal regulatory agencies. [19] [20] [21] The Federal Trade Commission announced on June 2, 2022, that they are suing to block the merger. [22]
