Heights University Hospital in Jersey City, formerly known as Christ Hospital, has announced that it will suspend non-essential services at the hospital for 30 days as they await emergency state funding. Hudson Regional Health, which took over the hospital from CarePoint Health following CarePoint’s bankruptcy, has indicated that the hospital is facing a $60 million shortfall for this year despite $300 Million in investments by the new owners in less than a year.

The emergency funding proposal from the State is led by Hudson County State Senators Brian Stack and Raj Mukherji, who are attempting to secure up to $25 million in emergency State funding to keep the hospital afloat. According to local officials, if non-essential services continue to be suspended, cut or the hospital itself closes, there would be a major gap in care for thousands of Hudson County residents, as the surrounding hospitals cannot support the volume. On October 17, 2025, the hospital announced that it will receive $2 million in stopgap funding from the State to fund critical operations for approximately the next 2 weeks while the hospital works with government officials to develop a plan for more substantial funding for the hospital.
