RWJBarnabas Health was honored to support the incredible athletes, families, coaches, and volunteers who made this year’s Games so special.

From volunteering throughout the weekend and providing health screenings through the Healthy Athletes program, to spending time with athletes at Olympic Village alongside Rutgers Football student-athletes and our friends from the Somerset Patriots, Jersey Shore BlueClaws, Trenton Thunder Baseball, and the Seton Hall Pirates, we were proud to celebrate the power of inclusion and community.

The determination, resilience, and joy displayed by every athlete reminded us why this partnership means so much. Thank you, Special Olympics New Jersey, for allowing us to be part of such an inspiring weekend.

Congratulations to all of the athletes!

Welcome to the 2026 RWJBarnabas Health Student Nurse Externs!

This summer, we proudly welcome 100+ nursing students from across the region for an immersive clinical experience designed to bridge the gap between classroom learning and professional nursing practice. Over the next 10 weeks, each extern will be paired one-on-one with an experienced RN preceptor, providing individualized mentorship, guidance, and hands-on learning opportunities in a variety of specialty areas.

Through direct patient care experiences, interdisciplinary collaboration, and exposure to the culture of nursing excellence that defines RWJBarnabas Health, these future nurses will build the skills, confidence, and professional relationships that will help shape their careers. We’re excited to support their journey and invest in the next generation of nursing professionals!
