RWJBarnabas Health at Old Bridge: A New Era in Healthcare Access

On September 22, 2025, the long-awaited RWJBarnabas Health at Old Bridge formally celebrated its grand opening with an impressive ribbon-cutting ceremony. Located at 1980 Route 9, this state-of-the-art ambulatory care center spans an impressive 71,000 square feet, which significantly enhances healthcare accessibility for the community. Officially opening its doors to patients just a week later on September 29, this facility marks a significant milestone in local healthcare services.

A Comprehensive Range of Services

The new facility is dedicated to offering a wide array of healthcare services under one roof, enhancing patient convenience and care quality. Patients can expect to find clinics specializing in areas including heart and vascular care, digestive health, general surgery, endocrinology, sports medicine, neurology, and neurosurgery.

One of the key features of the RWJBarnabas Health at Old Bridge is the Family First Urgent Care. This service is designed to handle acute, non-life-threatening conditions, providing essential walk-in services seven days a week for those who need immediate attention.

Soon, the facility will also launch several vital services aimed at further enhancing patient care. These include the Matthew J. Morahan III Health Assessment Center for Athletes, and oncology services in collaboration with the Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey. Additional specialties such as Rheumatology, imaging services, and physiotherapy through JAG Physical Therapy and LabCorp will also be made available shortly.

Voices of Commitment

During the opening ceremony, prominent figures within the health and local community shared their insights. Mark E. Manigan, President and CEO of RWJBarnabas Health, emphasized the importance of localizing healthcare services for better community health outcomes. “This opening reflects our shared commitment to bring more care, closer to home,” he remarked. He further illustrated how this facility simplifies the patient experience by combining primary care and specialty services in one location.

Richard Mojares, MD, the CEO of Family First Urgent Care, echoed these sentiments, highlighting the synergies created through collaboration. “Our partnership with RWJBarnabas Health spans more than a decade, and Old Bridge is the latest example of what we can achieve together,” he stated, noting that the facility represents more than just bricks and mortar—it's a purpose-designed destination for accessible, coordinated, and patient-centered care.

In attendance were local leaders including Senator Owen Henry and Mayor Debbie Walker, who expressed strong support for the improved healthcare infrastructure in the area.
