NJBIZ has learned Prime Healthcare has expressed interest in Bayonne Medical Center.
Prime Healthcare joins Hackensack Meridian Health and Atlantic Health as potential suitors for the medical center.
A company spokesperson told NJBIZ that Prime Healthcare’s mission is to rescue and transform hospitals so patients can continue to have access to quality care close to home. Prime said that it has preserved and improved 45 hospitals across the United States and is always looking for opportunities to further its mission of saving hospitals for communities.
“Prime has never closed or sold a hospital and we strive to keep as many doors open as we can,” the spokesperson said.
CarePoint Health announced in October that it was looking for a strategic partner for the acute care facility.
At press time, CarePoint Health did not return NJBIZ’s request for comment.
Ontario, Calif.-based Prime Healthcare owns four acute care hospitals and a behavioral health facility in New Jersey: Saint Clare’s Denville Hospital, Saint Clare’s Dover Hospital, Saint Michael’s Medical Center and Saint Clare’s Behavioral Health.
Bayonne residents and local officials have been concerned that the medical center would be shut down if a partner were not found. In November, the Bayonne City Council approved the creation of the Bayonne Municipal Hospital Authority that would give the city government the power to purchase the hospital if necessary.
Prime Healthcare scored a key victory in its breach of contract lawsuit with Humana, which allegedly underpaid or denied payment for services provided to Medicare Advantage beneficiaries.
The COVID-19 vaccine is helping us transition back to normal, but it does not mark the end of the pandemic.
The CDC guidelines reinforce the need for continued physical distancing, avoiding contact with those who have been exposed or are confirmed positive of COVID-19, wearing face masks in public and practicing hand hygiene, after vaccination, to help slow and stop the spread of COVID-19.The desired level of herd immunity, according to Dr. Anthony Fauci, is to have at least 75% vaccinated by the end of May 2021.
There are currently two COVID-19 vaccines authorized for use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration: the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine and the Moderna vaccine.The Pfizer vaccine is given in two shots, 21 days apart, and is authorized for use in people 16 years of age and older.
All viruses like SARS-CoV-2, have a unique genetic code.
Scientists took part of the virus's code, called the messenger RNA (mRNA) which tells our cells to make copies of a specific part of a protein unique to the spikes on the surface of the virus that causes COVID-19.
The immune system produces antibodies and activates T-cells, over the course of several days, to fight off what it thinks is an infection.
