Job Overview :

Trinitas Regional Medical Center, established in 2000 through the consolidation of Elizabeth General Medical Center and St.

Elizabeth Hospital, operates as a Catholic teaching hospital under the oversight of the Sisters of Charity of St. Elizabeth.

Situated in Elizabeth, NJ, the hospital serves a population exceeding 129,000, offering comprehensive healthcare across two campuses.

With 554 beds, including facilities for long-term care and behavioral health, Trinitas annually treats nearly 20,000 inpatients, 70,000 emergency patients and accommodates over 450,000 outpatient visits.

Committed to God's healing mission, Trinitas prioritizes excellent, compassionate care, particularly for the poor and vulnerable, exemplified by its status as a leading Charity Care provider in the state.

Sponsored by the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth in collaboration with Elizabethtown Health Care Foundation, it is recognized for excellence across 12 Centers of Excellence, ranging from cardiology to sleep medicine.

The Trinitas Regional Medical Center ER is a state-of-the-art facility that recently underwent an $18.7 million renovation that nearly doubled the number of treatment beds from 27 to 45.

Also included in the project is a 128-slice CT scanner and onsite ultrasound suite that speed the delivery of care and provide more detailed diagnosis.

The Trinitas Emergency Department is one of the busiest in the state with more than 73,000 emergency visits annually. Our newly renovated Emergency Room has a total of 45 treatment rooms with separate treatment areas for families, children and seniors.

A designated Chest Pain Center, the ER is often the front door for many patients who experience superior care through the services of our Cardiology Center of Excellence.
