History
It was founded in 1872 in Jersey City, New Jersey and was originally associated with the Episcopal Diocese of Newark.
The Christ Hospital School of Nursing was established in 1890 and since 1999 has run a cooperative program with Hudson County Community College. In 2014 it merged with the Bayonne Medical Center nursing school.
In 2011 it was announced that the hospital would be sold to Prime Healthcare Services. The proposed sale was the focus of significant community concern, generated competing offers, and Prime Healthcare's original offer was withdrawn on February 1, 2012. The hospital filed for bankruptcy proceedings in 2012 and was eventually awarded to what was deemed the highest bidder for $43.5 million.
