New Jersey Hospitals: Imagine a Day Without Us
Inadequate funding and other pressures have forced 25 N.J. hospitals to close since 1992. Six others have filed for bankruptcy. Of the 73 acute care hospitals that remain, half lost money last year. Learn more about the crisis and how you can help save New Jersey's hospitals.
NJHA serves as an advocate for acute care, specialty and government hospitals, as well as post acute providers, representing their concerns and interests to elected officials both on the state and federal level.
NJHA's staff includes a Legislative & Legal Affairs team that serves as an information liaison between the state's hospitals and their representatives in Trenton and Washington, D.C. Legislative Affairs staff present NJHA policy to key decision makers, committee staff and executive leaders through meetings and discussions, as well as through testimony at hearings. Member hospitals are often called on to assist in NJHA advocacy efforts. This influential united voice is necessary to achieve laws and regulations that are in the best interest of our healthcare institutions and the patients they serve.
This section of the NJHA Web site connects you to information concerning the top issues that NJHA Legislative Affairs staff are currently monitoring in Trenton and Washington D.C. These pages provide valuable resources and information that will help you to stay informed about current healthcare issues that affect New Jersey hospitals.
