New York Healthcare News - North Shore-LIJ Aquires Lenox Hill Hospital

Published

saint vincent's manhattan is now gone, but it seems one of the few remaining priviate hosptitals in nyc has avoided financial ruin.

federal antitrust authorities raised no red flags with a pending deal for lenox hill hospital to join the north shore-lij health system, clearing the path for the transaction to close. boards of both hospitals voted tuesday to finalize the deal.

lenox hill turned to deep-pocketed north shore-lij to stabilize its finances. in return, the long island-based chain will now have its first hospital in the competitive manhattan market. the addition of lenox hill expands its coverage area beyond long island, queens and staten island. north shore-lij is already the largest system in new york state and the ninth-largest employer as well. it employs more than 38,000 people.

seems hospitals will all be part of one network or another...."Network North, South

Cannot speak for any where else in the USA, but had this particular deal not gone through, Lenox Hill probably would have followed St. Vincent's into closing.

Sadly healthcare has become a business for better or worse, and just as with that side of things, there are those that have healthy operations with lots of spare cash, and those that are hard up.

IIRC, there is now only one priviate hospital left in NYC or at least Manhattan, Harlem North General, and they aren't doing well financially either.

No problem. I am actually starting with orientation tomorrow. I am a new grad with an ADN but almost completed my BSN (graduating in May). I am going to be working the night shift. There is a 6,000 dollar differential for nights and as soon as I graduate you get an additional 1500 dollars a year.

congratulations on getting a job at lenox hill hospital... i have applied several times and no luck.

i did volunteer work and 2 internships with them and the nurse recruiter even promised me a job for when i got my licence and now all they say is that things have changed since the merger.... can you give me some input on how you applied? all they tell me is that new grads are not being considered at this time... i graduated in may 2010 with my bsn.
