RBHS was created in response to the 2012 New Jersey Medical and Health Sciences Education Restructuring Act that asked that UMDNJ be merged into Rutgers University.[5][6] Not all UMDNJ units became part of RBHS. Thus the School of Osteopathic Medicine at Stratford became part of Rowan University, and the University Hospital in Newark became a freestanding state-owned institution.
Rutgers Health
In 2016, Rutgers University’s Board of Governors approved the establishment of Rutgers Health as a new health care provider organization that would be the clinical arm of Rutgers University. Rutgers Health coordinates with Rutgers Health Group, a subsidiary nonprofit corporation that functioning as an integrated, interprofessional faculty practice plan with more than 1,000 Rutgers-based physicians, dentists, psychologists, nurses, pharmacists and other clinicians and Rutgers Health Network, a grouping of teaching hospitals, community centers, medical groups, wellness centers and other affiliated entities and partners providing care through their relationship with Rutgers.[7][8][9]
