Heights University Hospitals Emergency Room to Close Permanently: Local Leaders Express Outrage
Hudson Regional Health is shutting down the emergency room at Heights University Hospital in Jersey City this Saturday at 7:30 PM. The facility, once known as Christ Hospital, has been a fixture since 1872, but only the E.R. remained open since most services closed last November. The operator cites ongoing financial issues as the reason for closure, despite hopes to convert the site into housing. Local leaders, including the nurses union president and Jersey City Mayor, express fury over the sudden move, citing broken laws and endangered lives. They urge Governor Mikie Sherrill to intervene and call the decision unacceptable. The closure is expected to disproportionately affect low-income families, seniors, and strain nearby hospitals and first responders.
