History
A panorama of the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital.

In 2015, Saint Barnabas Health Care System and Robert Wood Johnson Health System signed an agreement which outlines the merger between these two health systems. Once complete, the transaction created New Jersey's largest health care system and one of the largest in the nation. The New Jersey Attorney General needed to review the deal before it was official, with the expectation that the merger would be completed in 2016.[1] On March 30, 2016 the two health systems officially merged and formed RWJBarnabas Health.[2]

Potential Trinitas Regional Acquisition

In October 2019 the leaders of RWJBarnabas Health signed a letter of intent to acquire the Trinitas Regional Medical Center in Elizabeth, New Jersey.[3][4] The preliminary letter of intent is a nonbinding agreement that will lay out a basic structure for the proposed acquisition of the hospital and the nearby long-term care center.[5][6] Trinitas would still retain its core catholic ideologies upon the acquisition and continue to maintain its affiliation with the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth.[7][8]

Potential Saint Peters Acquisition

In late 2019 it was announced that the leaders of RWJBarnabas Health and the leaders of Saint Peter's Healthcare System signed a letter of intent to explore a merger.[9][10][11] The preliminary plan calls for significant investments in Saint Peter’s by RWJBarnabas Health to help expand the outpatient services currently provided by Saint Peter’s.[12][13] Saint Peter’s would remain a Catholic hospital and continue its sponsorship by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metuchen.[14][15][16] According to administrations from both hospitals, the two parties have been in discussions for awhile and believe they could both benefit from the merger.[17][18] The merger would also strengthen education services provided at the two already Rutgers affiliated hospitals.[19]
