History
[edit]Inspira Health formed in November 2012 by the merger of South Jersey Healthcare and Underwood-Memorial Hospital.[8] The network traces its roots to South Jersey Healthcare's Bridgeton campus founding in 1898. Underwood and Memorial hospitals were founded in 1915 and 1916, by J. Harris Underwood, MD and William Brewer, MD, respectively; they were both physicians from Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The two merged in 1966 to become Underwood Memorial Hospital.[9][10][11]
