After many months of discussion, bankruptcy negotiations and threats of the hospital closing, a day has come nobody saw coming a few months ago: a ribbon cutting.
On Thursday afternoon, the city will symbolically hand over the control of the hospital to new owners HUMC Holdco LLC, who also own the Bayonne Medical Center.
Chief Transition Officer Philip Scheangold is serving as the hospital's new CEO.
Lt. Governor Kim Guadagno will also be present at the ceremony. Gov. Chris Christie allocated $5 million in state money in an effort to keep the hospital open. Earlier he had allocated $11 million in the state budget to go toward relieving the hospital debt.
On Thursday, former Mayor David Roberts, Mayor Dawn Zimmer and former Hoboken Municipal Hospital Authority Chairwoman Toni Tomarazzo will also be present to cut the proverbial ribbon.

A lot of people to thank and a lot to be thankful about, The hospital remains open 1200 people still have jobs, Hoboken saved from over $80,000,000.00 in crushing debt,
No amount of excuses, face saving statements, lies or hate filled TV commercials will ever change the fact that four were willing to hurt so many to continue their own nasty political agenda of obstruction and chaos.
