I would go to Englewood or Hackensack but my primary care doctor is a gem and based out of Christ hospital. And to be fair they were recently taken over by Engelwood....and they seem to be trying to make it better. The previous owners were venture capital vultures who saddled it with debt while charging consulting fees to the hospital but controlled those very companies.

The whole Carepoint thing is a horrorshow but there's good doctors and other caregivers in the system. But to a large extent these hospitals exist to get Medicaid dollars from people who don't have many options. Most of the non-emergent patients to Hoboken Hospital come from poor North Hudson areas.

I also think many people are not aware that they can go to Hackensack or Englewood even with medicaid and get amazing level of care.
