Merger Creates New Jersey's Largest Hospital System
The largest healthcare system in New Jersey has been created by the merger of Barnabas Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Health System. The new system will operate as RWJ Barnabas Health. The new organization will have 30,000 employees and an operating revenue of $4.5 billion per annum. RWJ Barnabas Health will have a market share of roughly one third within the region covered by its 11 hospitals. The deal still requires a seal of final approval from the Attorney General of New Jersey. This is confidently expected sometime within the next twelve months.
