Union Hospital has a long and proud history of delivering the finest quality medical services in a compassionate health care environment. Founded as Memorial Hospital in 1944 at the height of World War II by five osteopathic physicians, the 23-bed hospital was originally housed in a Victorian mansion in Elizabeth purchased for $17,000. In 1962, it was expanded to an 82-bed facility in the historic “five points” section of Union, where, for the past 44 years, it has grown and expanded to meet the health needs of the community.

In 1993, Union Hospital became part of the Saint Barnabas Health Care System, which
currently has eight hospitals and more than 22,500 employees.

This affiliation has enabled the hospital to strengthen and expand its offerings, as well as to keep pace with the many advances in medical technology.

Today, Union Hospital is a 174-bed community teaching hospital serving more than 60,000 individuals each year. Offering a wide array of acute care services, it is considered a major health care resource to Union County. In 2003, the hospital opened a state-of-the-art Center for Surgery offering the foremost in technology and surgical services, and in 2005, they added the groundbreaking new Center for Sleep Medicine.
