The Foundation at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center raised money to renovate the antiquated chapel space into a modern, multi-denominational, spiritual hub appropriate for the needs of our diverse patient and long term care resident population.
This goal was right in line with the mission of The Foundation at Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, a NJ 501 c3 non for profit organization.
