New President's Installation Dinner
*****
~ Our speaker for the May 6, 2021, meeting was Debbie Visconi, President and Chief Executive Officer at New Bridge Medical Center.
Ms. Visconi is not only the President and Chief Executive Officer of New Bridge Medical Center, she is now an honorary member of the Rotary Club of Paramus!
Ms. Visconi leads Care Plus Bergen, Inc., the new not-for-profit operator of New Bridge Medical Center. New Bridge Medical Center, a clinical affiliate of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences, is New Jersey’s largest hospital and the fourth largest publicly-owned hospital in the nation.
Ms. Visconi discussed how Care Plus Bergen Inc. is actually an innovative alliance between three world-class partners – Rutgers New Jersey Medical School, Integrity House, and Care Plus NJ Inc. Ms. Visconi manages the day-to-day operations of New Bridge Medical Center, strengthening the hospital’s core services of acute care, behavioral health, addiction treatment, and long-term care, while ensuring greater access to primary care for all Bergen County residents, as New Bridge Medical Center continues to play a critical role in health care delivery for patients and families in Bergen County and across New Jersey.
