Lenox Hill Hospital is part of the Northwell Health network, the largest private employer in New York State and the New York metropolitan area, providing world-class health care to over two million people annually. Northwell Health plans to revitalize Lenox Hill Hospital into a hospital ready to care for current and future generations. The hospital’s mission is to deliver care with compassion and respect, to promote wellness in our communities and to advance the field of medicine through education and research. The vision for a renewed Lenox Hill Hospital is deeply informed by its expert staff as well as modern medical standards and community feedback and will ensure the hospital remains at the forefront of clinical care for years to come.
