Together for Health
With a commitment to delivering exceptional patient care, Rutgers Health combines a statewide academic health care provider organization, eight schools, plus an array of centers and institutes in pursuit of biomedical, clinical, and translational research across the breadth of scientific inquiry.
As the top academic health care provider in NJ, we’re uniquely equipped to meet the health care needs of today while also leading us into tomorrow.
The centers and institutes of Rutgers Health collaborate with partners across the university and the community to address vital issues of human health and train the next generation of health professionals.
Our schools, centers, and institutes partner with community organizations to advance health equity and engage underserved populations in research, training, and care.
Administration
Inaugural Chancellor Brian Strom will step down at the end of the fall 2025 semester, after 12 years leading Rutgers Health. New Jersey Medical School Dean Robert Johnson will serve as interim chancellor beginning January 1, 2026.
The leadership team is responsible for executing the vision for Rutgers Health across functional units, focusing on academic excellence, exceptional clinical care, building a supportive and inclusive environment for all, and cutting-edge health research.
The Way Forward
Our aim for the next five years is clear: to realize our collective vision of a multidisciplinary, multidimensional, and multifaceted organization in which the whole is far greater than the sum of its parts.
History in the Making
In July 2013, Rutgers integrated with most of the units of the former University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, thereby establishing Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences and positioning Rutgers as one of the country’s largest academic institutions to provide health sciences education, research, and clinical service and care. This transformational growth stayed strong with the 2018 clinical affiliation between Rutgers and RWJBarnabas Health.
Moving into the future as Rutgers Health, we are continuing to build a world-class academic health system dedicated to life-changing research, clinical training of tomorrow’s workforce, and quality health care for all.
