University Hospital has been neglected by political leaders, the state's largest health workers union says.
University Hospital in Newark continues to stagger under “years of state neglect and insufficient funding,” New Jersey's largest health care workers union says.New Jersey is continuing to underfund its only public acute-care hospital despite being in a better financial position than it has been in years, the state’s largest health care workers union contends in a new position paper.
“Due to a lack of adequate support, the facility is antiquated and deteriorating,” the HPAE says in 12-page document, “ “What we need now is for the state to invest in a new building,” White said. “University Hospital’s cash on hand is so much lower than other competing hospitals. The age of their building is twice the age of others. They have power outages, an antiquated plumbing and electrical system.
“While University Hospital and Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences are separate entities, University Hospital is an important institution to us,” said Zach Hosseini, associate vice chancellor for communications and marketing at Rutgers, in a statement. “Our doctors treat patients there, our trainees learn there, and we share a joint mission to improve the health and wellbeing of the communities that surround it.
