As you’ll read in this month’s cover story, New Brunswick is marking its latest and perhaps most monumental investment in health care with the opening of the 12-story, 520,000-square-foot Jack & Sheryl Morris Cancer Center. Executives with RWJBarnabas Health, the Rutgers Cancer Institute and other key stakeholders unveiled the facility in mid-May, hailing the arrival of New Jersey’s first freestanding cancer hospital and one of only 13 in the country, part of a $1 billion project that has brought top-tier patient care and cutting-edge research labs under one roof.
