Bergen County's Getting A New Hospital: Here's When, And What It'll Have

BERGEN COUNTY, NJ — Next month, New Jersey is getting is first entirely new acute care hospital building since 2019.

The Valley Hospital in Paramus will open for patient care on April 14.

Many of its staff members and departments are moving from the current Ridgewood location — which will remain open for some services, including imaging, the breast center, ostomy services, endoscopy, and lab work.

However, acute care and emergency services will move to the Paramus location.

"Valley’s campus on North Van Dien Avenue in Ridgewood will transform from an inpatient facility to a thriving outpatient healthcare destination, with a variety of services designed to offer convenient care for our community," noted a release.

Hospital dignitaries and local officials will host a ribbon cutting at the new building in Paramus next Friday, March 22.

"[The] facility will serve as the anchor to Valley’s new 40-acre health and wellness campus designed to unite acute patient care with a range of outpatient services," said a spokesperson.

Besides patient care, visitors can glimpse a piece of local history.

"The famed mural from Alexander’s department store, a roadside landmark dismantled in Paramus 25 years ago, is making a homecoming at The Valley Hospital’s new campus," says the website for the new hospital.

The hospital's address is 4 Valley Health Plaza, Paramus, but for GPS, travelers should use 650 Winters Ave.

Valley Health System is a regional healthcare system based in Ridgewood.
