Due to the current winter storm impacting New Jersey, hazardous conditions including heavy snow, strong winds, and dangerous roads are expected to continue throughout the day. For everyone’s safety, please avoid traveling unless absolutely necessary.

All outpatient appointments scheduled for Monday, 2/23, have been cancelled. Staff are working to re-schedule these appointments. Stay tuned for updates regarding appointments scheduled for Tuesday, 2/24.

The safety of our patients, their loved ones, and University Hospital staff is our top priority. Due to the blizzard, we are strongly encouraging virtual visits on Monday, 2/23. In-person visiting is not recommended until it is safe to travel and when Governor Mikie Sherrill’s restriction on personal travel is lifted. Please check back for updates.

You can still stay in touch with your loved one without coming to the hospital.

With a current blood shortage impacting hospitals nationwide, our University Hospital community stepped up when it mattered most.

In partnership with the New York Blood Center, we came together for our February 2026 Blood Drive. This year, our donors didn’t just give blood, they shared why they give. Their words say it best: every donation is a second chance for someone in need.

Thank you to everyone who rolled up their sleeves and made a difference. Be on the lookout for our next drive later this spring! 🩸
