Hospital Closings: JC's Greenville shows timeline

State health officials yesterday approved the closing of Jersey City's Greenville Hospital on April 23.

This is in line with the length of time between the notice and the closing of St. James Hospital in Newark.

The implication is that Solaris' request for a 'certificate of need' that would allow closing Muhlenberg would be on target for late August-early September, 2008.

Greenville's parent corporation's 'flagship hospital' -- the Jersey City Medical Center, which is three miles away -- will take up the services previously offered by Greenville.

Read the full story in today's Jersey Journal and Star-Ledger.
