Pascack Valley Hospital (PVH) is a former 291 bed hospital, located at 250 Old Hook Road, Westwood, New Jersey.
[edit] History
Pascack Valley Hospital opened on June 1, 1959, as an 86-bed community hospital. It has undergone several expansions and grew to 291 beds.[2]
On September 24, 2007, the hospital filed for bankruptcy and began to limit its admissions in anticipation of closure. On November 21, the facility stopped providing medical care, and the administrative remaining departments closed shortly thereafter.[3]
Hackensack University Medical Center and Touro University College of Medicine have jointly purchased the former hospital's assets and plan to restore emergency services and transform the hospital into a medical school.[4]
