Operating Status for Tuesday, January 27, 2026

January 26, 2026

Dear Members of the Rutgers Health Community, 

Now that the weekend’s winter storm has passed and the State of Emergency has been lifted, I want to confirm that clinical operations remain fully open, and all other university services and classes will return to their standard operating schedules on Tuesday, January 27.

Please continue to monitor rutgers.edu/status and rutgershealth.org/operating-status for updates. 

Navigating a major winter storm requires an immense amount of coordination. I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our facilities and grounds staff who ensured our campuses remained safe, our health care providers and clinical staff who provided uninterrupted care, and our faculty and students for their flexibility in making sure our academic mission continued safely. 

As we transition back to normal operations, please continue to exercise caution. If you have specific questions regarding your department or clinical site, please reach out to your direct supervisor or practice leadership. 

Sincerely, 

Robert L. Johnson, MD, FAAP
Interim Chancellor, Rutgers Health
Dean, Rutgers New Jersey Medical School
Professor of Pediatrics
Director of Adolescent and Young Adult Medicine
