Valley
Hospital , now Hackensack University Medical Center North at
Pascack
Valley (HUMC North), gets set to re-open its doors Wednesday, Touro University College of Medicine and HUMC have abandoned the plan to share the 20-acre Westwood campus.

Heights as the site for its main campus. TouroMed and HUMC bought the land at a bankruptcy auction last February for $45 million.
