  • July 20, 2020 the Honorable Phil Murphy NJ Governor Office Of
    July 20, 2020 The Honorable Phil Murphy NJ Governor Office of Governor PO Box 001 Trenton, NJ 08625 Dear Governor Murphy, On behalf of the nearly 4,000 public sector members of HPAE Locals 5094 and 5058 employed by Rutgers University and University Hospital, I am writing to inform you of our concerns and opposition to the University’s actions that will result in the merger of the RWJ Medical School located in New Brunswick and the New Jersey Medical School located in Newark into one single Medical School. Despite the significance of this merger there has been minimum transparency and no oversight required of this transaction, leaving the communities served by both Medical Schools without an ability to fully understand how the merger will impact education, training, services and jobs in those communities, nor the ability to provide input whether they support or oppose the proposed merger. Although Rutgers University is a public institution funded by the State, this pending merger is not governed by any state laws and regulations. The merger of two public Medical Schools should only happen through legislative review and regulatory approval. Historically changes to the medical school structure, function, and location were only accomplished through legislation. However, Rutgers is bypassing the legislative process. Another concern to our members, and one I strongly urge you to consider, is that the current proposal could contravene legally binding commitments in current state statute that are enshrined in the Newark Agreement’s commitments to the community. As a result of the re-organization of Higher Education in 2012, the mission of Rutgers University included a commitment to maintain a thriving University Hospital/Rutgers Health campus, to ensure that the public health needs are met for the City of Newark and Greater Essex County.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 20, 2019 MEDIA CONTACT (973) 634-8298 University Hospital Announces Innovative Community Health Program New program will utilize chaplains in the role of community healthcare workers to improve the health of Newark residents Newark, New Jersey – Today, University Hospital (UH) announced the launch of an innovative community-based care coordination program. The Community Health Program, led by the hospital, will leverage and expand existing partnerships with the Greater Newark Healthcare Coalition, the Healthy Greater Newark Accountable Care Organization, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, and Rutgers University Behavioral Healthcare, among others. The new initiative will seek to improve health outcomes for Newark residents, lessen dependency on emergency services as a primary resource for medical attention, and improve access to primary care services. Governor Phil Murphy: “New Jersey is committed to building healthy, thriving communities. I applaud University Hospital for taking this step forward to improve the health and quality of life for the people of Newark and for recognizing that our health is largely impacted by life’s challenges that occur outside the four walls of a hospital or doctor’s office. Through this comprehensive approach we are making a commitment to not only acknowledge and address the medical needs of an individual but the complicating social factors in their lives, to ultimately improve both health and quality of life.” Shereef Elnahal, Commissioner, New Jersey Department of Health:
