- Rep. Frank Pallone says moving Monmouth Medical from Long Branch is harmful.

 “RWJ Barnabas has applied to the New Jersey Department of Health to relocate the Monmouth Medical Center hospital in Long Branch to Tinton Falls. Don’t let RWJ Barnabas fool the public. The application is to transfer the hospital license. Whatever they keep in Long Branch cannot include services of an acute care hospital like major surgery, delivery of babies, ICU or anything that requires a hospital stay overnight for care. What they are leaving behind in Long Branch does not qualify as a hospital. A satellite emergency room. Some outpatient care for same day procedures. Facilities for behavioral health. But, without an acute care hospital license, all of the outpatient care, even the emergency room can eventually be closed.” APP
