Maimonides to Join NYC Health + Hospitals in 2026, Pending State Approval

City leaders describe a rescue built on a $2.2 billion state grant alongside higher Medicaid reimbursements.

Overview

  • The merger is targeted to close by April 1, 2026 following review by the New York Attorney General and other regulators.
  • Integration would move the private safety‑net system into the municipal network, unlocking public‑hospital Medicaid rates expected to add millions in annual revenue.
  • Officials say Maimonides will adopt Epic for a unified electronic health record and patient portal to improve care coordination and revenue collection.
  • Patient services are set to continue without interruption, with assurances the hospital will retain its community identity in Borough Park and surrounding neighborhoods.
  • Reporting cites court filings that value the deal at $15 billion, as NYC Health + Hospitals notes stronger finances and a board vote to pursue the partnership.
