Maimonides Medical Center, New York Community Hospital to merge

Southwest Brooklyn’s health care system is about to undergo a major change as two venerable institutions, Maimonides Medical Center and New York Community Hospital, announced plans to “integrate” their two organizations. While the official announcement jointly issued by the two hospitals did not mention the word “merger,” Kenneth Gibbs, president and CEO of Maimonides Medical Center, told the Home Reporter that the two medical institutions were indeed entering into a type of merger.
