Paramus NJ, In a landmark moment for New Jersey healthcare, Deb Visconi, President and CEO of Bergen New Bridge Medical Center, has officially been sworn in as the 2026 Board Chair of the New Jersey Hospital Association (NJHA).
Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco joined healthcare leaders from across the state to celebrate the appointment, marking a new chapter for the NJHA—an organization that advocates for every hospital in the state and shapes the very framework of New Jersey’s healthcare policy.
A “Remarkable Turnaround”: The Rise of Bergen New Bridge
Since taking the reins at Bergen New Bridge—the largest publicly owned hospital in the state—Visconi has orchestrated what Tedesco describes as “one of the most remarkable hospital turnarounds ever seen.”
Under her leadership, the County’s hospital has evolved from a local facility into a powerhouse of innovation and inclusivity. Key achievements include:
-
Cutting-Edge Technology: Making advanced services like robotic surgery a reality for the community.
-
Expanded Mental Health Services: Significant growth in substance use disorder and mental health departments to meet the rising needs of New Jersey residents.
-
The “No Turn Away” Policy: Cementing the hospital’s mission to provide care and compassion to every patient, regardless of their circumstances.
Why This Matters for New Jersey Healthcare
The NJHA represents the interests of all New Jersey hospitals, focusing on quality standards, patient access, and statewide policy. With Visconi at the helm for 2026, the association gains a leader known for operational excellence and a “patient-first” philosophy.
“The NJHA is in excellent hands. Bergen New Bridge has truly transformed under Deb’s leadership, and we are incredibly proud of her on this well-deserved honor.” — Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco
