Hoboken Mayor Reacts To Hudson Regional Hospital Assuming Control of HUMC

A major ownership change has become official for three hospitals in Hudson County.

Following a decision by a bankruptcy court judge on Friday, April 11, 2025, Hudson Regional Hospital in Secaucus has officially taken control of the operations of Christ Hospital in Jersey City, Hoboken University Medical Center and the Bayonne Medical Center.

Carepoint, which previously operated the three hospitals, had declared bankruptcy last November.

Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla issued the following statement following the court’s ruling:

“This is a historic moment for the future of health care in Hoboken and Hudson County, as our local hospital now has new leadership with a clear track record of success.  Several years ago, HRH took over the Meadowlands Hospital, that, like Hoboken, was on the brink of collapse. Just a few short years later, they transformed it into a thriving hospital that is well respected and utilized by the local community. I have no doubt that with the proper resources they will replicate that success in Hoboken and build a thriving, quality healthcare system for our community. I look forward to working with the leadership at HRH in the weeks and months ahead to ensure that residents have the high-performing healthcare option that they deserve.”
