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 previously belonged to Saint Michael's Medical Center. Saint Michael's was a hospital in Newark, New Jersey, in the United States. Saint Michael's closed or was acquired in the period around 2016 to 2017. The domain later became available.
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 is a continuation of the former hospital. Nothing on this site is endorsed by the former hospital. Any resemblance in the domain name to a US medical facility is a historical accident of domain ownership. It is not a claim of medical authority.
If you were looking for the old hospital
You may have arrived here expecting information about the former Saint Michael's Medical Center in Newark, New Jersey. That hospital is closed. This site cannot help with historical patient records, billing, or medical queries related to it. Contact the New Jersey state health authorities or the hospital's successor organisation directly for former patient records or billing enquiries.
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.
