Secaucus Hospital Will Become Teaching Hospital, Renamed Secaucus University Hospital

SECAUCUS, NJ — The town hospital in Secaucus renamed itself Secaucus University Hospital, and the hospital says it will become a teaching hospital.

Hudson Regional Health System, under the leadership of CEO Dr. Nizar Kifaieh and chairman Yan Moshe, partnered with New York Medical College (NYMC), a medical college located in Valhalla, in Westchester County, New York.

In 2026, students from New York Medical College will start training and doing internships at all four hospitals in the Hudson Regional Health system: Bayonne University Hospital, Hoboken University Hospital, Secaucus University Hospital and Heights University Hospital in Jersey City, which Hudson Regional Health closed this fall. Only a standalone ER, labs and imaging center remain there.

They anticipate having medical students start rotations at the Secaucus hospital beginning in the next academic year, 2026-'27, said a spokesman for Hudson Regional.

The agreement will establish clerkships, sub-internships and electives for NYMC medical students. In addition, NYMC will assume sponsorship of Hudson Regional's residency programs in family medicine, internal medicine and surgery, a transitional year residency program, and a fellowship program in gastroenterology.

New York Medical College is located in Westchester County, New York, and offers degrees from the School of Medicine, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, the School of Health Sciences and Practice. It joined Touro University in 2011 and has accredited degrees from the Touro College of Dental Medicine at NYMC and the Touro College School of Health Sciences’ nursing program at NYMC. They are affiliated with hospitals and clinical sites across eight states — New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Arizona and Florida.
