“Born at the Beth” – Video Highlights HFNJ’s Roots
June 16, 2023The Healthcare Foundation of NJ was formed in 1996 from the sale of Newark Beth Israel Medical Center to the RWJ Barnabas system. The roots of the Foundation’s heritage and inheritance, therefore, date back much longer – to the 1901 founding of “the Beth” hospital, and the vibrant turn-of-the-century Jewish community in Newark which raised the funds to create, maintain, and expand medical services for all within the community.
To celebrate our history and tell this story, we created this short video with the Jewish Historical Society of MetroWest which draws together archival historical footage and images to tell the story of HFNJ’s roots.
