Requires hospitals to maintain minimum services when relocating from underserved community.
This bill requires hospitals approved to relocate from designated underserved communities to maintain minimum services at their original location. Specifically, they must keep the same professional departments, inpatient beds, and essential services required of all general acute care hospitals under current regulations. The original location must operate under the same license as the relocated hospital. This applies to any relocation approved by New Jersey's Department of Health, including those finalized within the past year.
