Inspectors from New Jersey’s Department of Health and Senior Services recently released a report in which it dinged the hospital for not properly cleaning reusable medical devices, not sterilizing instruments according to guidelines, not implementing hand hygiene policies, inadequately clean operating rooms and many more citations.
The investigation was triggered by complaints from healthcare unions and a public interest law group. In a statement sent to the Jersey Journal, Mr. Gregorio called the state report “activist propaganda.”
Those who had called for the investigation “are using their relationship with each other and with the media to try and influence control over our hospital and quite frankly, it will not be tolerated,” Mr. Gregorio said in the statement.
