Hospital Closure Blocked by Judge

A judge just slammed the brakes on Heights University Hospital’s bid to dodge New Jersey’s healthcare review process, tossing out their temporary restraining order. The hospital claimed they’d just withdraw their closure application — no harm done — but the state argued the facility is basically shut down, lost accreditation, and its license is void. The judge agreed: the state’s review must continue to protect community health needs. Meanwhile, the hospital’s property owner is stepping in, hoping to seize control of the license or certificate of need to revive operations. The state’s meeting can now proceed — and the hospital still has a shot to appeal, with the next court date set for June twenty-third.
