Medical Research
RWJBarnabas Health and Rutgers University have partnered together to create the state’s largest academic health care system dedicated to providing high-quality patient care, leading-edge research, and world-class health and medical education that will transform and advance health care in New Jersey.
This venture enhances the delivery and accessibility of evidence-based health care across the state. It also boosts the recruitment of prominent academic, research and clinical practitioners, while strengthening the advancement of health science innovation and education.
Collaboration and Synergy
Patients throughout New Jersey will benefit from increased access to providers across disciplines, including physicians, nurses, dentists, physician assistants, pharmacists, social workers, and behavioral health and addiction professionals. Newly developed centers of excellence will provide the settings for groundbreaking medical research and clinical innovation, while serving as the home base for clinicians who are leading scholars within their fields.
The collaboration also aligns RWJBarnabas Health with Rutgers’ education, research, and clinical activities, including those at the Rutgers Cancer Institute– the state’s only NCI-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center and universally recognized for its scientific leadership – and Rutgers University Behavioral Health Care.
Together, we offer patients new hope with the latest solutions in the fight against cancer.
We provide patients access to the most advanced treatment options including cancer clinical trials and novel therapeutics such as precision medicine, and immunotherapy – many of which are not available at other facilities across the state. The unique partnership combines the strength of both entities bringing world-class cancer care close to home.
