Secaucus University Hospital: Commemorating a Half Century of Care
The festival marks the 50th anniversary of Secaucus University Hospital, which merged with Hudson Regional Health on May 22, 2025. The hospital originally opened in 1976 as Riverside General Hospital.
Secaucus University Hospital and Hudson Regional Health are now a newly unified four-hospital network committed to delivering high-quality, modern care to the residents of Hudson County and beyond. The network includes hospitals in Secaucus, Hoboken, Jersey City, and Bayonne.
Together, these hospitals now operate under one integrated system with shared leadership, coordinated infrastructure, and a singular mission: to provide accessible, patient-first care supported by innovation, according to its website.
