Dear Editor:
Each year Jersey City Medical Center continues our mission of enhancing life by serving the entire community with exceptional care. This year, amid much financial pressure, we are grateful to Governor Chris Christie and Dr. Poonam Alaigh, Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services, for their strong support of the state’s safety net hospitals and the enhanced funding for charity care this year.
As one of the state’s largest providers of quality medical services to citizens of New Jersey without health insurance, Jersey City Medical Center believes it is vital that the health safety net is funded. Governor Christie and Commissioner Alaigh continued support of the charity care program will help guarantee that these most vulnerable families will be able to receive excellent medical care at Jersey City Medical Center.
Joseph F. Scott, FACHE
President and CEO
