Maimonides enters strategic partnership with North Shore-LI Jewish Hospital
Longtime Leader in Brooklyn Community, President Pam Brier Announces Retirement
Long in the planning stages, a “strategic partnership” between two successful hospital groups is now official: Brooklyn’s historic Maimonides Medical Center has a new partner in medicine: North Shore-Long Island Jewish. The news was announced recently, along with the retirement of the popular Pamela Brier as longtime president of Maimonides.
According to the official release, the North Shore-LIJ Health System and Maimonides Medical Center announced on Wednesday they have entered into a strategic partnership that will help Maimonides build on its success in meeting the current and future health needs of Brooklyn. These discussions have been ongoing since they were first announced in February of this year.
North Shore-LIJ and Maimonides have decided to pursue a full integration in a phased approach that will begin immediately with a comprehensive strategic partnership, 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 programs.
