The Bayonne City Council has tabled two ordinances that would have condemned the Bayonne Medical Center property through eminent domain.
At it’s April meeting, the council introduced the two ordinances that would initiate eminent domain proceedings which began last year. In May, 2020, the Hudson County Board of Commissioners unanimously voted to approve three resolutions authorizing the Hudson County Improvement Authority (HCIA) to begin the process.

Dear Editor,
Let me start by saying that I have been a Bayonne resident for the past forty plus years.
Bayonne, at this point in time deserves a Top Notch Hospital Operator and Top Notch Facility for every medical situation.
Since the CarePoint takeover, Bayonne Hospital has shed services, raised rates, and has definitely not put the Bayonne residents first.
The longtime employees have been great and dedicated and deserve to have a management team with experience, and dedication as well.
Unfortunately, CarePoint has decided to put profits before people and wishes to now
leave the business after its founders/scammers pulled $157 million dollars out to retire. Who let this happen?
After hours of public comment, potential for eminent domain for Bayonne hospital is hazy

The future ownership of Bayonne’s only hospital sparked hours of public comment and earnest
pleas at Wednesday’s City Council meeting as the city councilmembers weighed whether to clear a path for acquiring the property through eminent domain.
The vote on the matter was carried Wednesday due to a procedural step that must precede the vote, and despite the hours of public discussion about the topic, it is still unclear which way most council members are leaning.
