Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center was a community-based acute care hospital in Plainfield, New Jersey.

History

It was founded in 1877 by the residents of Plainfield, New Jersey after a railroad accident. Job Male donated the land.[1]

The hospital was first located on Muhlenberg Place, now West Third Street.

The hospital is named after Reverend William Augustus Muhlenberg, who was a rector at the Protestant Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion in New York. William Muhlenberg is also the founder of St. Luke's Hospital in New York City.

Muhlenberg School of Nursing was founded in 1894 with two students. In 1971 the School of Nursing established an affiliation with Union County College in Cranford, New Jersey.

In 1994 the hospital celebrated its 100th anniversary.

In 1997 Solaris Health System was formed by joining Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center and JFK Medical Center in Edison, New Jersey. In November, 2007, Solaris Health System announced that it was intending to sell Muhlenberg.

Muhlenberg Regional Medical Center closed its 355-bed facility on August 13, 2008. JFK Medical Center continues to operate a satellite emergency department as well as other outpatient care from the facility.
