TRENTON – The Senate today approved a bill, sponsored by Senate Majority Leader Bernard F. Kenny Jr., to help save the financially troubled St. Mary Hospital in Hoboken by having it taken over by a new city hospital authority.
“St. Mary’s is vital to the people of Hoboken, but it also serves families in Union City, West New York, Weehawken and North Bergen,” said Senator Kenny, D-Hudson. “If we can transfer ownership and infuse the hospital with a new management team, St. Mary’s stands a very good chance of thriving again as a full service facility.”
