Northwell Health is a nonprofit integrated healthcare network that is New York State's largest healthcare provider and private employer, with more than 85,000 employees.[1]
The flagship hospitals of Northwell are North Shore University Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center (LIJ Medical Center). The healthcare network is also headquartered on Long Island, in New Hyde Park, Nassau County.
History
[edit]In the 1990's North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset began to expand, first purchasing Glen Cove Hospital in 1990 which formed North Shore Health Systems Inc. Throughout the decade the health network began to purchase other surrounding hospitals and by 1997 had a total of 10 hospitals spanning from Staten Island to Suffolk County, New York.[2]
In 1997 North Shore Health Systems merged with Long Island Jewish Medical Center forming the "North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System" after a failed attempt by the United States Department of Justice to block the two health networks from doing so.[3]. In September of 2015 the health system announced it would be changing its name to Northwell Health.[4]
In 2019, Northwell Health had 23 hospitals and more than 700 outpatient facilities, as well as the Zucker School of Medicine, the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, urgent care centers, kidney dialysis centers, acute inpatient rehabilitation, sub-acute rehabilitation and skilled-nursing facilities, a home care network, a hospice network, and other services.
More recently, the company signed a deal with software technology company Playback Health, to launch platforms for patient medical information to retain their healthcare data.[5]
In April 2022, Northwell Health announced it will be providing telemedicine support of around 18,000 pounds (8,200 kg) of medical supplies to the front-line regions of Ukraine to aid in the humanitarian crisis.[6]

Northwell Nurse Choir
[edit]In 2020, during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, a choir was formed consisting of eighteen nurses who had worked on the frontline to aid those affected by the virus. Created to support the nonprofit Nurse Heroes group, the members performed virtually in order to ensure safety .[8][9] The group came to prominence in 2021 when they auditioned on the 16th season of America's Got Talent.[10]
