Eliza Titus Society
The year was 1865 when Miss Eliza Titus bequeathed her small estate to the Ladies Society of Saint Barnabas House in gratitude for the care they gave her during a long illness. A mere two years later, in 1867, by an act of the New Jersey Legislature, The Hospital of Saint Barnabas became the first incorporated hospital in the state. Now as one of the region's oldest and largest nonprofit, nonsectarian hospitals, Cooperman Barnabas Medical Center (CBMC) owes its existence in part to Miss Titus and to the many individuals who, as members of the Eliza Titus Society, have helped to build and sustain CBMC.
