The history of this domain
We think a site's ownership history matters, especially in healthcare. Here it is in plain terms.
Where the name comes from
The domain smmcnj.org was once used by Saint Michael's Medical Center, a hospital in Newark, New Jersey, in the United States. The hospital is still operating. Prime Healthcare completed its acquisition of the hospital in May 2016, and the hospital's website describes it as a member of Prime Healthcare. Its website is now smmcnj.com. Private Health Compass later acquired smmcnj.org.
Who owns and runs the site now
Private Health Compass now owns and operates smmcnj.org. It is an independent UK publisher. We have no connection to Saint Michael's Medical Center, to Prime Healthcare, or to any hospital, clinic, insurer, or other healthcare provider named on this site. We are a comparison and information publisher. We are not a healthcare provider ourselves.
Nothing on this site continues the hospital's work, and nothing here is endorsed by Saint Michael's Medical Center or Prime Healthcare. The domain name comes from the hospital's past use of it. It gives this site no medical standing.
If you were looking for the hospital
This site cannot help with appointments, care, patient records, billing or any other question about Saint Michael's Medical Center. Please contact the hospital through its contact page on smmcnj.com, or use its medical records and billing and insurance pages.
This page is the intended destination for any old links or bookmarks pointing to hospital-era pages on this domain.
Why we are telling you this
Some sites built on domains with an unrelated past history stay quiet about it. We would rather be upfront: this is who we are now, this is what we do, and this is what came before. See our full approach on the editorial policy page and our terms on the disclaimer page.
