Posted

The North Shore-LIJ Health System and Maimonides Medical Center announced this week that have entered into a strategic partnership,following discussions that have been ongoing since in February.

Beginning immediately, North Shore-LIJ and Maimonides will pursue a full integration in a phased approach, with both institutions maintaining their independence and separate governance structures. Maimonides will continue to operate as a full-service, tertiary and teaching hospital and be a critical component of a growing network of services that the North Shore-LIJ Health System and Maimonides will establish in Brooklyn. 

The strategic partnership will be composed of joint ventures and other activities that will strengthen Maimonides and expand its leadership role in the region. North Shore-LIJ will work with Maimonides in enlarging its ambulatory network of clinical services to position the hospital for continued success as lead entity of one of the state’s three largest Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) programs. 

In addition, North Shore-LIJ will provide Maimonides with capital resources and access to its extensive shared services infrastructure and expertise, enabling the hospital management to make needed investments while continuing to improve operating efficiencies.

Maimonides President and CEO Pam Brier “has built an organization focused on excellence with an unwavering commitment to meeting the health care needs of the communities served by the hospital,” said Michael Dowling, North Shore-LIJ’s President and CEO. “Maimonides is now a key strategic partner with North Shore-LIJ as our health system seeks to expand its presence in Brooklyn.

“We look forward to combining our complementary strengths as we work with the Maimonides Board and management team to identify other opportunities to meet the critical health needs of the borough’s 2.6 million residents.”
