A New Jersey state-designated primary stroke center, Raritan Bay Medical Center (RBMC), located in Perth Amboy and Old Bridge, is ranked among the nation’s top ten percent of hospitals in the care of stroke patients*, a position the hospital has held for the past five consecutive years. RBMC is also one of less than two percent of hospitals nationally to achieve re-designation as a Magnet Hospital, recognizing nursing excellence, and has been the recipient of a New Jersey Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield patient care quality award for the past three years.

Licensed for 501 beds with a medical staff of more than 500, RBMC provides medical-surgical, maternity, pediatric, general and critical care, as well as adult behavioral health, emergency and interventional cardiac and same day surgery services. A leader in cardiovascular care, RBMC is one of only twelve New Jersey hospitals currently participating in a national Johns Hopkins University Medical Center demonstration project studying the benefits of providing elective angioplasty in hospitals without onsite cardiac surgery.

The hospital has several specialty services including the Center for Wound Healing, Center for Sleep Medicine, Pulmonary and Physical Therapy Rehabilitation Programs. RBMC is a major clinical affiliate of UMDNJ-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, a member of the Robert Wood Johnson Health Network and affiliate of the Cancer Institute of New Jersey.
