Here is a recent update on the HUMC's Website from CEO Harvey Holzberg himself:
More Progress at Hoboken UMC
If you have passed the corner of Fourth Street and Willow Avenue recently, you have seen that the new Emergency Department at Hoboken UMC is taking shape. We are all excited about this soon-to-be facility because it is going to provide more space and state-of-the-art technology to better serve emergency patients in Hudson County. When the Emergency Department opens this summer, in addition to care from the region’s leading medical professionals, you can expect more privacy, increased comfort and shorter waiting times with a guarantee to be seen by a nurse within 15 minutes of arrival and a doctor in 30 minutes.
Already, we’ve seen the community respond to our initiatives to provide medically advanced care that also caters to the needs of our patients. The number of babies born at Hoboken UMC continues to rise, as more parents-to-be are discovering high quality and personalized care is available, right in their neighborhood. And the demand for specialized services, such as same-day surgeries and minimally invasive surgical procedures, is also growing.
Also, we at Hoboken UMC believe that your financial worries shouldn’t stand in the way of your good health. We’ve established a Financial Health Care Helpline for people concerned about the coverage their insurance provides. You can speak directly with experienced financial counselors, who will explain options that may be available to help you afford the tests and treatments you need.
Available Monday to Friday, 9am – 5pm,
you can access the helpline, by calling (201) 418-2211 or e-mail financialhelpline@HobokenUMC.com.

My take: Progress is indeed being made but I encourage citizens to attend the HUMC tommorow at 7PM to find out about the taxpayer subsidized Hospital and its financial condition. ◦
