Robert Garrett

Robert Garrett, a nationally-renowned healthcare leader and sought-after industry expert, is the president and chief executive officer of Hackensack University Health Network (HackensackUHN)—the New Jersey-based parent company of Hackensack University Medical Center (HackensackUMC), the HackensackUMC Foundation, Hackensack University Medical Groups and corporate joint venture partners with LHP Hospital Group in ownership of both HackensackUMC at Pascack Valley in Westwood and HackensackUMC Mountainside in Montclair.

In September 2014, HackensackUHN welcomed Palisades Medical Center in North Bergen as a full member of the Network. With more than 11,300 employees, 3,100 credentialed medical staff members and 1,697 hospital and nursing-home beds at hospitals within the network, it is one of the largest healthcare systems in New Jersey.

In November of 2009, he was named HackensackUMC’s president and chief executive officer after a five-month, nationwide search.

In March 2014, HackensackUHN announced a partnership with New York-based CityMD to open urgent care centers throughout northern New Jersey. In September 2013, the network made history by entering into a groundbreaking alliance with six other health systems to form AllSpire Health Partners, with a total of 28 hospitals and service area of more than six million people—making AllSpire the largest healthcare consortium of its kind in the country. In 2013, Pascack Valley Hospital was reopened as HackensackUMC at Pascack Valley after five long years of fighting to reopen its doors. It was the first license New Jersey has granted to a new hospital since 1984. HackensackUHN also has clinical affiliations with: Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center, Georgetown Lombardi Comprehensive Cancer Center, MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, United Surgical Partners International, NYU Langone Medical Center’s Division of Pediatric Surgery, CVS MinuteClinic and North Shore-LIJ Health System (strategic alliance). HackensackUHN also maintains academic affiliations with Georgetown University School of Medicine, Rutgers Medical School, St. George’s University School of Medicine and Stevens Institute of Technology.

Also focusing on population health, in 2012, the Hackensack Alliance Accountable Care Organization (ACO) was one of just 27 ACOs selected by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to participate in the Medicare Shared Savings Program. Today, the Hackensack Alliance ACO has 575 affiliated physicians covering nearly 40,000 lives with an estimated cost savings of $10.75 million in its first year of operation.

HackensackUMC, the flagship hospital of the Network, has nearly 8,000 employees and nearly 1,600 physicians and is the largest provider of inpatient and outpatient services in the state. It has received some of the most prestigious designations and distinctions from the nation’s leading healthcare ratings companies, including its ranking as the number one hospital in New Jersey and one of the top 30 hospitals in the nation by U.S. News & World Report.

Garrett’s leadership and strategic vision has garnered much professional praise. In 2014, Garrett was ranked 17th on NJBIZ’s “Power 100: The most powerful people in New Jersey business” list.
