Capital Health — East Trenton opens
In December of 2022, Capital Health assumed responsibility for health care services previously provided by St. Francis Medical Center in Trenton, N.J..
That campus, which now operates an Emergency Department and some outpatient services, has been renamed Capital Health — East Trenton and no longer operates as an acute care hospital.
“Without this transition, Trenton would have lost desperately needed health care services, including emergency services, behavioral health and cardiac surgery,” said Al Maghazehe, president and CEO of Capital Health. “This would have been devastating to the residents. I want to thank everyone who partnered with us to make sure key services did not leave Trenton.
“We are committed to continuing to provide critical medical services in the city of Trenton and working closely with members of the community, local officials and other key stakeholders.”
