About Cathedral Healthcare System

Established in 1980 as Health Corporation of the Archdiocese of Newark and renamed in 1987, Cathedral Healthcare System today delivers a comprehensive range of services — from primary and emergency care to such specialized services as minimally invasive cardiac surgery, state-of-the-art cancer care, gastrointestinal capsule endoscopy, rapid HIV testing, mental health care, and breast cancer screening, treatment, and outreach.

Saint Michael’s Medical Center, a premier teaching hospital and a pioneer in cardiac care, maintains the world’s largest infectious disease network and is the principal site for HIV/AIDS research in New Jersey.

At Cathedral Healthcare System, we remain committed to our vital mission: to minister to those in need of healing according to the example of Christ as taught in the Gospel; to foster the values of love, compassion, justice, and reverence for life; and to support health services that improve or maintain the quality of life.
