Happenings

Eight months ago, if you asked every doctor and senior leader at Penn Medicine Princeton Health, they likely would have agreed that telemedicine would be a vital tool for patient care... eventually.

The process will look a little different this year, with universal masking and social distancing in effect, yet the rule remains the same: Flu shots are mandatory.

Barry S. Rabner, who led Penn Medicine Princeton Health from a small community health system into a regional leader widely recognized for high quality, safety, advanced technology, and community engagement, has announced that he will step down as President and CEO.

An auxiliary dining and break area has been set up on the bridge, the broad passageway connecting the second floor of Princeton Medical Center (PMC) with the Schreyer Education Center, as part of a larger effort to ensure proper social distancing on the hospital campus.

For several weeks in a row, the Emergency Department experienced a sustained, dramatic decline in the number of patients who were confirmed or suspected of having COVID-19.

The Rev. Matthew Rhodes, director of religious ministries, and Samuel Yenn-Batah, manager of pastoral care who also happens to be a talented saxophonist, provided poignant words and music to set the stage for an event held July 10 in the Healing Garden at Princeton Medical Center (PMC) honoring staff and patients affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

Princeton Medical Center (PMC) aced a federal infant care and nutrition survey on the strength of policies and practices that promote breastfeeding, advance maternity nursing skills, and ensure prenatal and postpartum education and support for mothers.

For the sixth year in a row, Princeton Medical Center (PMC) was recognized as a Best Regional Hospital in central New Jersey and ranked among the top hospitals statewide and across the New York metropolitan area by U.S. News & World Report.

Every in-person registration or check-in desk across Princeton Health will soon have 3/8-inch-thick tempered glass panels as part of a project that is expected to be completed within the next several weeks.

If all goes to plan — and, granted, very little has gone to plan in 2020 — Princeton Health Community Wellness will resume in-person programs in July. Yet the new normal will not be business as usual.
