View RWJUH Rahway Fact Sheet
Founded in 1917, Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Rahway, an RWJBarnabas
Health hospital, provides health care 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 almost 38,000 patients per year, and provides care for life-threatening
conditions such as heart attack and stroke. RWJUH Rahway, together with
Rutgers Cancer Institute, the state’s only National Cancer Institute-designated
Comprehensive Cancer Center, provides patients access to the most advanced
cancer treatments including clinical trials, cellular therapies, complex
surgical procedures and sophisticated radiation therapy techniques.
For those needing rehabilitation after an acute care stay, the campus is
home to a 24-bed, licensed subacute rehab owned and operated by Alaris
Health, as well as the 34-bed, long-term, acute-care Kindred Hospital
New Jersey for ventilator weaning and medically complex patients who need
specialized treatment for extended periods of time.
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 provides a wide range of cardiac testing and extensive catheterization
services, including a new state-of-the-art 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.
RWJUH Rahway 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. 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.
