Weill Cornell Medical, like other big NYC hospital chains, is slowly spreading out all over the neighborhood.
[The building, pictured above, is a planned residence for its doctors in training.]
NYU Langone has a new building towering on 3rd Avenue around 84th. Lenox Hill Hospital is part of Northwell Health which has fanned out all over the UES.
In passing, I noticed that Gracie Square Hospital is affiliated with New York Presbyterian – WCM. That transformation required no new lease or store front rental, just a change in signage.
Pretty soon major hospital groups will gobble up real estate like the branches of banks once did.
They’ll set up branches of their own outside their own balliwicks.
There’s no doubt that we need a robust healthcare network.
I consider NYP-WCM my local shop. I value the service they provide me.
Let’s hope that the proliferation of providers means better access for all New Yorkers.
