Teaneck Hospital Moves Key Clinics

A Teaneck hospital is closing its pediatric clinic at the end of April, NorthJersey.com reports.

Holy Name Medical Center in Teaneck is closing its hospital-based pediatric clinic for poor children at the end of April, and will transfer their care to a physician with a private office close to the hospital.

The hospital is also moving its adult clinic off-site, to offices on Queen Anne Road, as of April 13.

Families of the 990 children with medical records at the pediatric clinic have been receiving letters from the hospital explaining the change. The hospital has offered to transfer their records to the office of Dr. Howard Fisher, a solo practitioner whose office is two blocks from the hospital.

Officials said that they will still be able to achieve their mission of helping the under-served with the new arrangement, the report states.
