NEWARK, NJ — Newark Beth Israel Medical Center has announced the name of the hospital’s facility expansion project: “Newark Strong.” The $150 million expansion project will include a new 17,000-square-foot, glass-enclosed main lobby, expanded adult and pediatric emergency departments, new hybrid operating rooms, and a dedicated center for all cardiac services. It’s the largest expansion of the facility in more than 50 years.

“This is such an exciting time for our employees, physicians and community. This inclusive project will transform our hospital and spark investment in the South Ward. Our employees, physicians, nurses and community voted and they chose a name that captures what this project means to our neighbors as well as our staff,” NBIMC President and CEO Darrell K. Terry Sr. said. 

Throughout the construction phase of the project, the hospital will prominently display the name on a banner located on the corner of Osborne Terrace and Lyons Avenue, right in front of the hospital.
