Overview
- City and hospital leaders unveiled the plan to fold Maimonides’ three hospitals and 80-plus community sites into the public system following a unanimous NYC Health + Hospitals board vote in November.
- The closing is targeted for April 1, 2026, subject to legal and regulatory sign-offs at the state and city levels, including review by the attorney general.
- Joining the municipal network would secure higher Medicaid reimbursement rates intended to strengthen Maimonides’ finances.
- The deal includes a transition to Epic for electronic health records, giving patients online access and supporting care coordination, with officials pledging uninterrupted services and preservation of the hospital’s character.
- Court documents referenced in reporting describe the transaction as a $15 billion deal, and some community groups and staff continue to question governance and potential service or staffing impacts.
