New Jerseyans Get 'Chip Implants'

Health News
Trinitas Hospital in Elizabeth, New Jersey has agreed to implement the VeriMed(TM) microchip system and will initiate a clinical evaluation program of the System in its two Emergency Departments for rapid patient identification purposes. Upon implementation, each facility will be able to scan patients to obtain their VeriChip ID Number and utilize the associated database information.

Trinitas becomes the sixth hospital that has agreed to adopt the VeriMed System in their emergency department in the last five months and the third hospital in the State of New Jersey to employ the VeriMed System. "By attracting three of the leading hospitals in the northern New Jersey area, we have taken important steps to gain traction in the New York Metropolitan area, which represents millions of potential patients for VeriChip," said Kevin McLaughlin, CEO of VeriChip Corporation.
