Svetlana Lipyanskaya is set to take the helm of Maimonides pending final approval of the agreement between the two systems, officials said. She would succeed Ken Gibbs, who has led Maimonides as president and CEO.
In a press release Thursday, NYC Health + Hospitals said Lipyanskaya, who has served as CEO of South Brooklyn Health since 2020, will begin spending more time at Maimonides ahead of the formal integration to better understand the needs of patients, staff and the surrounding community. She has been part of the leadership team overseeing the effort to bring the two systems together.
The proposed partnership is backed by $2.2 billion in state funding over five years aimed at stabilizing and strengthening safety-net health care in Brooklyn. Officials said integrating Maimonides into the public hospital system would expand access to specialty and subspecialty services, provide patients with seamless digital access to medical records through MyChart, and ensure long-term financial stability. No changes to patient care are expected during the transition.
As part of the leadership changes, Manjinder Kaur, currently chief operating officer at South Brooklyn Health, would become CEO of that facility. Kaur, who has been with NYC Health + Hospitals since 2006 and previously served as chief nursing officer, would be the first nurse CEO of an NYC Health + Hospitals hospital in recent years.
Lipyanskaya is credited with guiding South Brooklyn Health through the COVID-19 pandemic and overseeing the opening of the $923 million Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hospital, a storm-resilient inpatient facility built as part of Superstorm Sandy recovery efforts. Kaur has led operational improvements at South Brooklyn Health, including initiatives aimed at reducing hospital-acquired infections and improving patient flow.
Officials said the planned transitions are designed to allow both Maimonides and South Brooklyn Health to operate without disruption once the partnership is finalized.
There is no such thing as a free-standing independent hospital anymore. Maimo had to link up with a larger organization. Unfortunately, Maimo’s payer mix is not good. Too many patients on Medicare and Medicaid, or no insurance. Therefore, no private system, such as NYU or NYPresbyterian would want them in their organization. All that’s left is the NYC H & H system..
So, Maimonides will now run like CI hospital is run. Och un Vei on anybody who ends up in this pit.
from 3rd world to 4th world
Because everyone has been running to the hospital formerly known as coney island hospital in numbers like 25k a year?
Good!
IZ was a disaster of a hospital!
Besides for guys making money there it was crap….
Exactly were did JEWELS F….. get his heart procedure done?!
Let the thing collapse and finished
Shame on the frum community for abandoning this Yiddish hospital. Millions are spent on chasune halls and shuls and other institutions. If the yidden would have invested in Maimo over the years instead of running to the city it would have flourished.
