Saint Peter's University Hospital

Serving the healthcare needs of central New Jersey for more than a century

As a NJ state-designated acute care children's hospital, we offer a full range of specialized pediatric healthcare services, including one of the most sophisticated maternity programs, delivering as many as 5,800 newborns annually. The Children’s Hospital at Saint Peter’s University Hospital operates one of the largest and most advanced neonatal intensive care units in the country as part of the hospital’s state-designation as a Regional Perinatal Center.

Keeping faith with the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church and guided by the Bishop of Metuchen, Saint Peter's University Hospital is committed to humble service to humanity, especially the poor, through competence and good stewardship of resources. We minister to the whole person, body and spirit, preserving the dignity and sacredness of each life. We are pledged to the creation of an environment of mutual support among our employees, physicians and volunteers and to the education and training of healthcare personnel. We are witnesses in our community to the highest ethical and moral principles in pursuit of excellence and patient safety.

In support of our mission to provide quality medical education, Saint Peter's is a major clinical affiliate of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences. Saint Peter’s also sponsors residency programs in internal medicine, obstetrics/gynecology and pediatrics that are approved by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education.
