Saint Peter's Healthcare System

Saint Peter's Healthcare System was formed in 2007. Besides Saint Peter's University Hospital, the system includes the Saint Peter's Foundation and the Saint Peter's Health and Management Services Corporation, which oversees various initiatives, including the CARES Surgicenter, an ambulatory surgery center adjacent to the hospital in New Brunswick, and a Family Health Center in New Brunswick that serves, among others, juvenile victims of sexual abuse, economically disadvantaged families and mentally disabled and/or violence-prone youth.

In late 2019 it was announced that the leaders of RWJBarnabas Health and the leaders of Saint Peter's Healthcare System signed a letter of intent to explore a merger.{{Cite web|date=2019-12-16|title=RWJBarnabas Health, St. Peter's Healthcare System sign letter of intent|url=https://www.modernhealthcare.com/mergers-acquisitions/rwjbarnabas-health-st-peters-healthcare-system-sign-letter-intent|access-date=2020-04-20|website=Modern Healthcare|language=en}}{{Cite web|last=NJ.com|first=Susan K.
