“For Opportunities and Eternally Focus On Excellence.” | January 22, 2015 | Robert I. Grossman, MD, Dean & CEO

For us, the road to opportunity leads far beyond our main campus on the east side of Manhattan, to Brooklyn, Staten Island, Queens, Long Island, Westchester, and New Jersey. By expanding our clinical services to more and more zip codes, a growing number of people now have access to NYU Langone’s world-class care right where they live and work. Last year, our network of ambulatory-care sites saw nearly 3 million visits. To accommodate a surge in patient volume, we’ve expanded existing practices to put more of the specialists that patients need under one roof. And our faculty practice has expanded to 1,700 top-tier physicians. We’ve also forged an unprecedented partnership with Lutheran Medical Center, a 450-bed teaching hospital in southwest Brooklyn, now called NYU Lutheran, which joined the NYU Langone family in 2016. The relationship anchors NYU Langone in the largest borough in New York City, which 40 percent of our inpatients call home.

Our emphasis on ambulatory care and strategic investments recognizes a vital new reality in healthcare: it’s no longer confined within the walls of a hospital. “Technology and medical breakthroughs are creating shorter and shorter hospital visits and more and more ambulatory-care activity,” says Andrew Brotman, MD, senior vice president and vice dean for clinical affairs and strategy. “We’ve fully embraced that trend.”
