About Us
Since 1902, Raritan Bay Medical Center has been a provider of quality compassionate care to the men, women and children in Central New Jersey. Today, we continue that high level of care, offering a total of 501 beds at our Perth Amboy and Old Bridge facilities. A medical staff of more than 500 physicians and specialists and a nationally-recognized nursing and ancillary staff of 1,700 provide medical-surgical, maternity, pediatric, general and critical care, stroke, behavioral health and emergency services.
We have always taken pride in the care that we deliver. In 1986, we started expressing this passion with the mantra, “Pride in Caring.” And, while this philosophy is at the core of all that we do, it has evolved over the years, and, in 2005, we introduced a new vision. To us, everyday is another opportunity to advance the level of care in our community. To expand our services with the latest technologies. To deepen our commitment to providing the very best medical care with the utmost compassion. We are advancing care. Every day.
