A hospital that has been at the center of the COVID-19 outbreak response in New Jersey in recent weeks has been making do with ingenuity and improvisation.
Gov. Phil Murphy's proposed 2020 budget includes another $262 million in Charity Care funds to the state's 70 acute care hospitals and one specialty hospital.
Already up and running in 31 states, New Jersey would join a compact that allows out-of-state nurses to work here without jumping through hoops, and vice versa, under a proposed state law.
