Christ Hospital is in Jersey City, New Jersey. It is affiliated with Hoboken University Medical Center and the Bayonne Medical Center.[1][2][3] It is one of the six hospitals in Hudson County, New Jersey operated by the for-profit organization Hudson Hospital Opco,[4][5] known as Care Point Health.[6] According to a study conducted by National Nurses United and released in January 2014, the hospital was the 9th most expensive in the state, charging 763% above costs.[7]

History

It was founded in 1872 in Jersey City, New Jersey and was originally associated with the Episcopal Diocese of Newark.[8]

The Christ Hospital School of Nursing was established in 1890 and since 1999 has run a cooperative program with Hudson County Community College.[9] In 2014 it merged with the Bayonne Medical Center nursing school.[10]

In 2011 it was announced that the hospital would be sold to Prime Healthcare Services.[11] The proposed sale was the focus of significant community concern,[12] generated competing offers,[13][14] and Prime Healthcare's original offer was withdrawn on February 1, 2012.[15] The hospital filed for bankruptcy proceedings in 2012[16] and was eventually awarded to what was deemed the highest bidder for $43.5 million.[17]
