Brooklyn Hospital Center affiliates with Mount Sinai
Mount Sinai expands Brooklyn footprint into LICH territory
The battle by health care providers for the Brooklyn territory once served by now-shuttered Long Island College Hospital (LICH) continues.
The Brooklyn Hospital Center has become a clinical and academic affiliate of Mount Sinai and its school of medicine (The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai), the institutions said Thursday.
The hospitals say the affiliation will expand physician and medical services in Brooklyn Hospital Center’s service area, while expanding the Mount Sinai Health System’s clinical services in Brooklyn.
The affiliation agreement is not a merger. Both institutions will remain independent of one another, and there are no financial integrations or commitments, a source said. Brooklyn Hospital Center has ended its affiliation with the New York-Presbyterian network.
