NYU LANGONE Medical Center and Lutheran Medical Center will create a clinically integrated health care provider network for the New York metropolitan area.
This agreement creates a formal health system between the two organizations that extends NYU Langone’s presence in Brooklyn, while bolstering Lutheran’s access to NYU Langone’s vast offering of medical and surgical specialties. Regulatory approval for the combination and new health system entity are expected to be completed in 2015.
NYU Langone has multiple ambulatory sites throughout the region, in addition to its main Manhattan hospital campuses, and Lutheran, in collaboration with its affiliated health center, Lutheran Family Health Centers, operates an expansive network of ambulatory practices in four boroughs of New York.
“We have been working closely with Lutheran over the last several months to assess whether a partnership would benefit each of our institutions, the Brooklyn community and, most importantly, the patients and families who turn to us for help,” said Robert Grossman, dean and CEO of NYU Langone.
This affiliation agreement allows both institutions to respond to this changing landscape and stabilize health care delivery in Brooklyn. This will be accomplished by:
The affiliation will create a fully integrated delivery system in Brooklyn using Lutheran’s existing primary care network, develop a system-wide IT infrastructure, and will focus on key initiatives including maternal and child health, cancer services, cardiac and vascular services, and physician network development.
