Barry Rabner, the president and CEO of Princeton HealthCare System, will talk about the plans for the remaining 110 acres on the new healthcare campus, including the new Merwick nursing and rehabilitation center.
Located on 50 acres of a 160-acre site in Plainsboro off Route 1, the new University Medical Center of Princeton at Plainsboro (UMCPP) is a replacement hospital for the current UMCP on Witherspoon Street in Princeton. When the new hospital opens in late 2011, it will consist of 636,”000 square feet of interior space, including 237 single patient rooms, operating rooms, treatment areas, and an emergency department, which will be double the size of the current emergency department.
Hyman and Michael Jacobs, father and son at the head of Windsor Healthcare LLC, will also talk during the event about the new Merwick, the nursing and sub-acute rehabilitation facility. Merwick will move from Bayard Lane in Princeton to the Plainsboro site. Owned and operated by Windsor Healthcare LLC (with the hospital retaining five percent ownership interest) the new Merwick will be double the size of the old Merwick. At 105,”000 square feet, the new LEED-certified structure will include 200 beds.
