RWJBarnabas Health announced the New Jersey Department of Health has advanced the system’s plans to build a 252-bed acute care hospital in Tinton Falls on the Vogel Medical Campus. The project includes significant investments to modernize facilities and maintain essential services and patient access at the existing Monmouth Medical Center in Long Branch.
The Department of Health notified RWJBarnabas Health that the system’s Certificate of Need application has been deemed complete, allowing the proposed project to move forward to the next phase of the review and approval process. The decision signifies all required documentation and information for the application have been submitted and accepted for review by the state.
Directly addressing patient feedback, the new proposed acute care hospital will allow for greater family involvement, privacy and improved comfort that creates a more healing environment. It will include emergency and surgical services, radiology, and all other critical support services. It will also include easier access with ample and well-lit parking, clear walking paths and security stations for enhanced safety.
The 150,000-square foot Specialty and Cancer Care Center will provide comprehensive outpatient cancer care in partnership with Rutgers Cancer Institute – New Jersey’s only National Cancer Institute-designated comprehensive cancer center. The outpatient center will also offer surgical and imaging services, physician offices and support services. Construction is underway and anticipated to be completed in late 2026.
Plans to redesign the Long Branch campus include maintaining essential services and facility improvements focused on centralizing care and creating greater efficiency and ease of access. The planned renovations feature updates to the largest patient care tower and the building’s façade, along with added parking. Learn more here.
