TRANSCRIPT
Northwell Health, formerly known as
North Shore LIJ, has done a remarkable
job for healthcare in my community.
Whether you have children, aging
parents, a sick spouse or a
medical condition of your own, it
eases the mind and heart to know
you have a good hospital with
caring doctors at your disposal.
"Northwell strives to improve the health of thecommunities it serves and is committed to providing
the highest quality clinical care; educating the currentand future generations of health care professionals;searching for new advances in medicine through theconduct of bio-medical research; promoting health
education; and caring for the entire communityregardless of the ability to pay."
Northwell's Mission
Northwell Health was officially founded
in 1997 when the North Shore Health
System merged with LIJ Medical Center.
The merger created a network of
what is now 21 hospitals, an institute
for medical research, rehabilitation
and nursing facilities, a home care
network, hospice network and more.
It’s the largest integrated
health care system in New
York state, and the state’s
largest private employer.
They are dedicated to
community, quality,
research and education,
and aim to be not just a
good health provider,
but a leader in national
health care.
This shows in everything they do.
