dc.descriptionFounded in 1888 theCarePoint Health Bayonne Medical Center is a hospital in Bayonne. It is one of six hospitals in Hudson County, It has 278 beds. The hospital became the subject of media coverage in 2013 when, in the midst of nationwide controversy over inconsistent hospital charges. The New York Times reported that the hospital "charged the highest amounts in the country for nearly one-quarter of the most common hospital treatments", which the Times associated with its 2008 restructuring after being acquired out of bankruptcy the previous year. In the same year, the hospital was ordered to award a "whistleblower" $2.1 million for being fired. Bayonne Medical Center entered the national spotlight again in 2014, when an investigative news team at NBC 4 New York reported that the hospital charged a New Jersey teacher nearly $9,000 to bandage his middle finger. In 2015 a follow-up investigation covered the story of a Bayonne resident who was charged over $17,000 for stitches on a two-inch cut. In November 2024, CarePoint Health filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, blaming high rising costs and lack of state funding from New Jersey. CarePoint plans to keep its hospitals operating as it invests $67 million in financing.
