You never know when you will find yourself in need of medical attention, and you want your local hospital to be able to get you healthy and get you home. I’m excited for this opportunity and look forward to serving the Raritan Bay Medical Center community on the board of trustees.”
The addition of Mueller comes at a pivotal time in Raritan Bay Medical Center’s growth.
