The State Health Planning Board granted approval Valley Hospital to relocate from Ridgewood to Winters Avenue in Paramus.
Citing the maintenance of current services and the two-and-a-half-mile distance between the current campus and the new campus, the board approved the Certificate of Need application.
“Department (of Health) staff reviewed Valley’s CN application and concluded that Applicant’s rationale for relocating rather than renovating the existing facility is a sound and well thought out strategy for planning for future community needs.”
Next steps include a communication plan to notify Bergen County residents of the new location as well as transferring the license to the new campus.
