The Christ Hospital School of Nursing was established in 1890 and since 1999 has run a cooperative program with Hudson County Community College.[9] In 2014 it merged with the Bayonne Medical Center nursing school.[10]
In 2011 it was announced that the hospital would be sold to Prime Healthcare Services.[11] The proposed sale was the focus of significant community concern,[12] generated competing offers,[13][14] and Prime Healthcare's original offer was withdrawn on February 1, 2012.[15] The hospital filed for bankruptcy proceedings in 2012,[16] and was eventually awarded to what was deemed the highest bidder for $43.5 million.[17]
In November 2024, CarePoint Health filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, blaming high rising costs and lack of state funding from New Jersey. The company listed assets between $500,001 to $1 million, and liabilities of no more than $50,000. CarePoint plans to keep its hospitals operating as it invests $67 million in financing.[18]
