Show Notes
Jersey Citys only emergency room remains after Heights University Hospitals permanent closure, leaving residents with limited options. The hospitals shutdown, due to massive losses and lack of public funding, has sparked concerns over longer ambulance trips and fewer beds, particularly in the Heights area. Local leaders and nurses have criticized the closure, while state health leaders accuse Hudson Regional Health of breaking rules. Jersey City is now considering using eminent domain to seize and reopen the hospital, aiming to improve healthcare access for underserved neighborhoods.
