History

HISTORY

A 1960 picture of the School building.

THE MEDICAL CENTER

Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center was located at the corner of Randolph Road and Park Avenue in Plainfield, New Jersey. It was a voluntary, non-profit, community teaching medical center. Chartered in 1877, it was named after the Rev. Dr. William A. Muhlenberg, former rector of the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Holy CommUnion in New York and the founder of St. Luke's Hospital in New York. Its doors were opened December 1, 1881, as Muhlenberg Hospital, in a small frame building on what was known as Muhlenberg Place.

The hospital came into being to fulfill a definite need. The story told in the report from the year which closed with June 6, 1904, states: "Near the close of 1876, a railroad accident to a stranger, necessitating a serious operation amid the bustle and distracting surroundings of the railway station, indicates the need for a hospital in Plainfield."

Dr. Charles A. Hart, then a practicing physician, urged establishment of such an institution and his suggestion received careful consideration during the ensuing few months.

In 1903, the hospital moved to the Randolph Road site with a bed capacity of 60. The main building was completed in 1962.

In April 1986, the hospital changed its name to the Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center, Inc., which more accurately described the growth in programs and services of the institution as well as symbolized the scope of the geographic area it served.

In 1998, the hospital merged with John F. Kennedy Medical Center in the forming of SOLARIS HEALTH SYSTEM. The Schools became an affiliate of the JFK Health System.

In 2006, the Schools moved into a new state of the art teaching facility on the Muhlenberg campus donated through the generosity of the daughter of Harold B. and Dorothy A. Snyder. The Schools then included the names of Harold B. and Dorothy A. Snyder.

In 2008, Solaris Health System closed the Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center as an acute care facility and transferred sponsorship of the educational programs to JFK Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey.
