Friends of Hackensack University Medical Center

Friends of Hackensack University Medical Center program is designed to support the mission of Hackensack University Medical Center by introducing neighbors, friends and colleagues to the medical center and its facilities, services, physicians, resources and research initiatives. The program is NOT a fundraising organization, and there is never a fee to attend our events. Friends of Hackensack University Medical Center creates a space that fosters connection, participation and dialogue among those who value the medical center and are committed to its future. The program establishes a new community based on the shared recognition of the medical center’s critical importance to our region and its families.

Friends of Hackensack University Medical Center provides an environment of discovery to learn about medical center advances and all that Hackensack University Medical Center has to offer.

Attendees are discouraged from pursuing personal business interests or soliciting attendees while at Friends events.
