The Newark Beth Israel Medical Center’s Newark Strong project is nearly complete. On April 18, 2023, the hospital held a ribbon cutting ceremony for the new 17,500 square-foot, glass-enclosed lobby. The lobby is the most visible element of the expansion that began in 2019 and is transforming the face of the hospital, producing new state-of-the-art medical units, and creating more opportunities for engagement with the community.
“As part of the Newark Strong expansion we now have a state-of-the art geriatric unit, and we are on the verge of opening our new redesigned cardiothoracic intensive care unit. These new treatment areas along with the new glass-enclosed lobby, elevate the hospital experience for our patients and their loved ones, and there is more to come. By the end of 2024 Newark Beth Israel will have a newly designed and expanded emergency department, cardiac catheterization lab, and several new operating rooms,” said Darrell K. Terry, Sr., MHA, MPH, FACHE, FHELA, President and Chief Executive Officer of Newark Beth Israel Medical Center and Children’s Hospital of New Jersey.
