The Jersey City Medical Center Pediatric Residency program trains physicians from around the world in pediatric medicine. According to Dr. Reginald Coleman, an attending pediatric physician, "this unique program is the only one of its kind serving the children of Jersey City and surrounding communities.

If allowed to close, our very sick children will be forced to transfer to other hospitals outside of Jersey City, consuming precious time and putting the lives of our sick children at risk."

We, the concerned citizens of Jersey City and Hudson County, petition our local politicians, as well as civic and community leaders, to help us save our pediatric residency program at the Jersey City Medical Center.

We request your immediate response to this petition, because the program is scheduled to be discontinued effective July 1st, 2007.
