Governor Chris Christie Calls New Expansion of Virtua Voorhees Hospital Critical to Local Job Growth

Trenton, NJ – Governor Chris Christie today called the new expansion at Virtua Voorhees Hospital critical to local job creation and economic growth. With the opening of the new facility, a new facility that offers acute, outpatient and long-term care in Southern New Jersey, Virtua Voorhees Hospital is the state’s first hospital to open in the state in seven years and represents a $580-million investment that has already created 2,800 construction jobs and will ultimately create 1,000 new permanent health care jobs. The project will generate millions of dollars of economic activity and will stimulate other regional development.
