Saint Peter's Healthcare System (SPHCS) is a Roman Catholic healthcare system on Easton Avenue in New Brunswick, New Jersey.

Overview

Saint Peter's Healthcare System was formed in 2007. Besides Saint Peter's University Hospital, the system includes the Saint Peter's Foundation and the Saint Peter's Health and Management Services Corporation, which oversees various initiatives, including the CARES Surgicenter, an ambulatory surgery center adjacent to the hospital in New Brunswick, and a Family Health Center in New Brunswick that serves, among others, juvenile victims of sexual abuse, economically disadvantaged families and mentally disabled and/or violence-prone youth.

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.[1] [2] [3] 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.[4] [5] Saint Peter’s would remain a Catholic hospital and continue its sponsorship by the Roman Catholic Diocese of Metuchen.[6] [7] [8] According to administrations from both hospitals, the two parties have been in discussions for awhile and believe they could both benefit from the merger.[9] [10] The merger would also strengthen education services provided at the two already Rutgers affiliated hospitals.[11]

On September 10, 2020 it was announced that the health systems had signed a definitive agreement that the two systems would merge.[12] [13] The merger would create the largest academic medical center in the state. After the signing of the agreement, the potential partnership began a period of review by state and federal regulatory agencies.[14] [15] [16]
