Overview
- NYC Health + Hospitals announced Feb. 19 that South Brooklyn Health chief Svetlana Lipyanskaya will become Maimonides CEO, pending formal approval of the partnership.
- Maimonides and NYC Health + Hospitals are finalizing terms of a state-supported deal worth $2.2 billion over five years to stabilize Brooklyn’s safety‑net care.
- Under the proposal, Maimonides’ three hospitals and 80‑plus care sites would join the public system, with officials saying patient care will continue without changes during the transition and with access to Epic/MyChart.
- South Brooklyn Health COO Manjinder Kaur is slated to succeed Lipyanskaya as CEO, marking the system’s first nurse leader in that role in recent years.
- Regulatory and governance steps continue, including required approval by the Attorney General, a City Council Hospitals Committee oversight hearing on March 2, and an April 14 court date in a trustees’ lawsuit; current Maimonides CEO Ken Gibbs is assisting the transition.
