“There are limited resources in the area, limited clinical staff in the area … if you open another hospital, I’m really concerned about the health of the remaining hospitals…”

“If a for-profit hospital opens anywhere in Bergen County, they’re going to cherry-pick the cases that pay…and they’re not going to provide the same level of indigent care that the rest of us do.”

“There are plenty of hospitals in the area . . . and if people are concerned about quality emergency care, they already have that here with the opening of the emergency center.”

“We’d like to see a Medical Complex that provides services that Bergen County really needs, like hospice, long-term care, ambulatory care, rehab beds. . . finding a solution together is what we should be doing.”
