New Brunswick has a long tradition of attention to health care, having established the country's first medical society in 1766. Five hospitals, two of them teaching hospitals affiliated with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (Saint Peter's Medical Center and Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital), are located in New Brunswick. The Cancer Institute of New Jersey delivers advanced comprehensive care, conducts world class cancer research, and offers the latest clinical treatments for cancer patients. St. John's Health and Family Service Center also offers health care to New Brunswick residents.
