Founded in 1917, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Rahway provides healthcare services that help our patients get better and stay better.

RWJUH Rahway is unique in the region in that it’s an acute care hospital that is also home to a long-term acute care hospital and a rehabilitation unit, nestled in a residential setting.

RWJUH Rahway’s Emergency Department cares for more than 32,000 patients per year, and provides care for life-threatening conditions such as heart attack and stroke. For those needing rehabilitation after an acute care stay, the campus is home to Care Connection, a 24-bed licensed sub-acute rehab unit owned and operated by Alaris Health.

Also on the campus is Kindred Hospital New Jersey, a 34-bed long-term, acute care hospital for ventilator weaning and medically complex patients who need specialized treatment for extended periods of time.

The hospital provides a wide range of cardiac testing and extensive catheterization services, including cardiac catheterization, emergency angioplasty and pacemaker insertion. For emergency angioplasty, our average door-to-balloon time is well under 90 minutes. For those with chronic heart and lung disease, the hospital provides cardiac and pulmonary rehabilitation programs that help build strength and stamina in patients weakened by their disease.

Our physical, occupational and speech staff help with recovery from illness or injury and provide therapy for those with neurological conditions, such as Parkinson’s disease. The rehab department at the hospital and satellite facilities in Scotch Plains and Carteret provide extensive therapeutic services, including peripheral neuropathy therapy, concussion therapy, and pelvic floor and incontinence therapy.

The hospital has extensive outpatient diagnostic and lab services, as well as a surgical weight loss program that is a Center of Excellence. The hospital’s bariatric program is life-changing. The specialized care offered for our patients at the Center for Wound Healing and Hyperbaric Medicine heals wounds faster than the national average.

The hospital runs a sleep lab that can detect sleep problems. Its Diabetes program, certified by the American Diabetes Association, helps diabetics gain control of their blood sugar. The hospital’s community education department provides screenings, support groups, healthy cooking, and health-related demonstrations at its fitness centers and in the community with the focus on staying healthy together.

Nationally renowned for quality and safety, the system includes 14 hospitals and 9,000 affiliated physicians integrated to provide care at more than 700 patient care locations.
