Paul A. Greisman, D.O., Plaintiff-Respondent v. the Newcomb Hospital

Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed the Law Division’s order that Newcomb Hospital must consider Dr. Greisman’s application for courtesy staff membership despite a bylaw requiring AMA‑approved medical school graduation and county society membership. The Court held that the hospital, as a nonprofit serving a public function, is subject to judicial review and its staff‑admission power is a fiduciary power that must be exercised reasonably and without unlawful discrimination.
