HEALTHCARE
W estchester County and the entire lower Hudson Valley region take full advantage of their proximity to New York City, offering top-notch medi- cal services close to home but with ties to the best medical professionals and technology in the world. Many facilities have been and con- tinue to be recognized for excellence in medical
expertise, nursing care, and other areas.
The 895-bed Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla serves as the region’s tertiary hospital, encompassing every adult and pediatric spe- cialty. One of the region’s largest employers, the Center includes 1,200 physicians among its workforce of 7,000 healthcare professionals and is nationally ranked in multiple categories. In 2018, the hospital will unveil its $230 million, 280,000 sq. ft. Ambulatory Care Pavilion on Valhalla campus. The project will cap a nearly $1 billion reinvestment in the community over
the past decade.
NEW & NOTABLE
As more medical groups join forces, the healthcare industry con- tinues to grow at the facilities conveniently located in each county. In 2015, the New York State Public Health and Health Planning Council approved a partnership between Montefiore Health System and White Plains Hospital. The alliance is expected to provide the entire region with more advanced and coordinated healthcare. The Montefiore Health System also has facilities in New Rochelle, Mount Vernon, and the former Sound Shore
Health System facilities since 2013.
Also in 2015, Phelps Memorial Hospital Center joined North
Shore-LIJ Health System and was rebranded as Phelps Hospital Northwell Health. It is joined in the Northwell Health System by Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco, forming largest integrated health system in New York State and delivering world-class clinical care throughout the region.
The nation’s leading cancer-treatment center, Memorial Sloan Kettering, also opened a freestanding facility in West Harrison three years ago. The 114,000 sq. ft., $143 million facility brings multidisciplinary teams of surgeons, medical and radiation oncologists, and radiologists together to focus solely on cancer treatment.
Hudson Valley Hospital Center joined with NewYork- Presbyterian Regional Hospital Network to increase access to industry-leading care. Situated in Cortlandt Manor, NewYork- Presbyterian Hudson Valley Hospital provides top-quality services to Westchester and lower Hudson Valley residents. NYP also has Lawrence Hospital in Bronxville.
The $230 million Westchester Medical Center Ambulatory Care Pavilion will be an eight-story state-of-the- art facility that brings both jobs and improved healthcare to the region’s more than one million residents.
As part of the Montefiore Health network, White Plains Hospital is on the rise in a big way. Not only has it recently added 173,000 square feet of renovated space to the operation, WPH has generated $927 million through jobs and purchases and invested $67 million in community benefits and subsidized care. Also part of the Montefiore network in White Plains is Burke Rehabilitation Hospital, which has emerged as the jewel in the crown for inpatient/outpatient rehab throughout the eight-county Montfiore service territory.
Meanwhile, the 13-location, 360-provider WESTMED Medical Group treats 350,000 patients a year while focusing on cutting-edge medical-data anyalysis to create models of predictive health that will keep patients out of the hospital entirely.
Health Quest, the largest family of nonprofit hospitals and healthcare providers in New York’s Hudson Valley, and Health Catalyst have partnered to improve the health of patients using a new data-driven approach to quality and performance improvement with a strategic initiative. Health Quest has implemented Health Catalyst’s Late-BindingTM Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) and Analytics platform, to take advantage of proven advances in data collection and analytics.
Orange Regional Medical Center in Middletown has wrapped construction on a 153,000 sq. ft., five-story outpatient facility and a 26,000 sq. ft., single-story cancer center at the hospital’s main campus. The $99 million project relocates many outpatient services that had been provided at off-campus sites to new, state-of-the-art buildings situated on their 73-acre hospital campus in Middletown.
