RWJ University Hospital: Middlesex County's Academic Medical Center
Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital (RWJUH) in New Brunswick is one of New Jersey's leading academic medical centers and the flagship hospital of RWJBarnabas Health. Affiliated with Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, RWJUH provides tertiary and quaternary care across a wide range of specialties, drawing patients from throughout central New Jersey and beyond. The hospital sits in the heart of New Brunswick, a city in Middlesex County with a diverse population and significant medical transportation needs.
RWJUH's campus includes multiple buildings and affiliated facilities in the New Brunswick area, making it important for patients and NEMT providers alike to know exactly which location an appointment is at before booking transport.
Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey
The Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey (CINJ), located adjacent to the RWJUH campus at 195 Little Albany Street, is New Jersey's only NCI-designated comprehensive cancer center. Patients receiving treatment at CINJ may attend appointments for chemotherapy infusion, immunotherapy, clinical trials, radiation therapy, and surgical oncology on a frequent basis.
Cancer patients at CINJ often need transport that can accommodate variable appointment lengths (infusion times can run 2-8 hours), post-treatment fatigue and nausea that make driving unsafe, mobility aids including wheelchairs and walkers particularly after surgical procedures, and reliable return pickup since patients may not be able to call for a ride independently after treatment.
Dialysis Transport in the New Brunswick Area
RWJUH's nephrology program is comprehensive, and there are multiple dialysis centers operating in and around New Brunswick. Patients with end-stage renal disease who receive in-center hemodialysis attend three sessions per week, every week, year-round. Setting up reliable recurring NEMT for dialysis is among the most important transportation arrangements a kidney failure patient can make.
If you receive dialysis in the New Brunswick or Middlesex County area and need help setting up consistent transport, contact Delta Medical Transportation for information on recurring schedule arrangements.
Children's Specialized Hospital
Children's Specialized Hospital (CSH), a member of the RWJBarnabas Health system, provides pediatric rehabilitation and specialized care for children and adolescents with complex medical needs. CSH's New Brunswick location is at 200 Somerset Street.
Transporting children with special needs to CSH requires appropriate child safety seat or wheelchair securement depending on the child's age and mobility, drivers who are comfortable working with pediatric passengers and accompanying parents or caregivers, and flexibility for therapy-heavy schedules that may include multiple appointments per week across different disciplines (PT, OT, speech therapy).
Cardiac and Surgical Follow-Up
RWJUH is a major cardiac surgery and interventional cardiology center. Post-cardiac surgery patients often have significant transport needs during their recovery period — they cannot drive for weeks following surgery and may have mobility limitations that require a wheelchair-accessible vehicle or ambulatory assistance from the driver.
Navigating the New Brunswick Medical Campus
The New Brunswick medical campus is a dense urban environment with several distinct buildings and entrances. Always confirm the exact building address with your appointment coordinator before scheduling transport. Experienced local NEMT drivers who regularly serve the New Brunswick medical campus will know the fastest approach routes and best drop-off points for each building.
Key addresses: RWJUH Main Entrance at 1 Robert Wood Johnson Place; Rutgers Cancer Institute at 195 Little Albany Street; and Children's Specialized Hospital New Brunswick at 200 Somerset Street.
Transportation from Across Middlesex County
RWJUH draws patients from communities throughout Middlesex County, including Edison, Piscataway, South Amboy, Perth Amboy, Old Bridge, and Woodbridge. Patients coming from the outer edges of Middlesex County or from neighboring Somerset, Monmouth, or Union counties may have longer travel times, which should be factored into appointment scheduling and NEMT pickup windows.
