History
Established in 1890, Englewood Hospital faced a notable nursing strike in 2006 related to disputes over employee benefits and pensions, which necessitated the employment of temporary nursing personnel.
In 2013, professional baseball pitcher Rob Kaminsky successfully raised upwards of $30,000 for the hospital’s pediatric oncology department through his Strikeout Challenge fundraiser.
On October 15, 2019, Hackensack Meridian Health (HMH) announced plans to merge with Englewood Health, committing $400 million towards upgrading the hospital’s infrastructure. This investment was aimed at constructing new operating suites, broadening outpatient services, and enlarging cardiac catheterization laboratories. The merger also intended to deepen academic collaboration with the Hackensack Meridian School of Medicine, elevating Englewood to a tertiary academic medical center status. Although the merger was anticipated to finalize within one year, the Federal Trade Commission filed a lawsuit in December 2020 to prevent the merger due to concerns over potential monopolistic effects.
Transit hub
In 2013, Englewood Hospital was designated as the terminal point for the Northern Branch Corridor Project, which proposes extending the Hudson Bergen Light Rail into eastern Bergen County. City stops along this extension would include Englewood Route 4 and Englewood Town Center. Additionally, it has been identified as a terminus for the planned Bergen BRT transit system.
