NYP Acquiring NY Methodist? Any insight?

LM NY · Nov 28, 2015

I am confused. Isn't Methodist already under the NYP umbrella?

Theyve been for a long time

No no no. This is an official acquisition. NYM was always AFFILIATED with NYP. But now we are actually being officially acquired and will be renamed as one of the NYPs. Just like how NY Downtown was finally acquired and named NYP Lower Manhattan. and how NY Hospital Queens became NYP Queens after it was acquired. Both of these hospitals were always affiliated with NYP, but they were acquired recently in the past few years. I am asking people who are actually aware of this, how does the merger/acquisition work?

This has been a rumor for a while, at least a year plus. I wouldn't hold your breath, it isn't likely happening any time soon.... As for more nurses, they're always churning and burning through batches of new grads!

I heard the name change is coming soon. Perhaps NYP Brooklyn?

Looks as if NYP is pumping tons of money into NYMH or something is going on; every other week or so it seems you hear of this or that new *star* physician being hired to head this or that department and or on staff.

With Long Island College Hospital gone, and who knows when that urgent care center run by NYU will ever get up and running NYMH is pretty much the only full service hospital in that part of "Brownstone Brooklyn".

West Brooklyn is the new money frontier. There are plenty of households with decent incomes and or health insurance who currently go to Manhattan or Long Island for care. That is one of the reasons LICH closed; same as Saint Vincent's really; people wanted to stick with the Big Boys; (NYP, Mount Sinai, Northwell and NYU).

NYP also fully took over/integrated Beekman Downtown hospital after it was going to shut down. With Saint Vincent's gone that would have left totally no full service hospital below 14th Street.

Meanwhile the hospitals of central and eastern Brooklyn are in very bad financial straits with many (Wyckoff, Kingsbrook, Brookdale, and Interfaith) really only being kept open by state funding.

After the other NYC major health networks declined to touch any of the aforementioned places with a barge pole, the Cuomo administration got Northwell to come on board to save one or all. Last one heard Northwell and Wyckoff are exploring some sort of partnership. This makes sense as a good number of Wyckoff patients come from Queens, which is Northwell's territory.

Still for a borough as large as Brooklyn every night you see ambulances crossing the East River bringing patients to various Manhattan hospitals. There just is a feeling among some that Brooklyn does not have the same high quality hospitals as the City.

A long time has passed since the last update, and since December 2016, we are New York Presbyterian Brooklyn Methodist Hospital.
