After signing a letter of intent in 2015 and entering into exclusive negotiations, Westchester (N.Y.) Health Associates, a full-service medical group, will become part of New Hyde Park, N.Y.-based Northwell Health on March 1.
The agreement officially integrates Westchester Health Associates into the health system's medical group practice, Northwell Health Physician Partners, which includes about 2,700 clinicians throughout the New York area.
Westchester Health has more than 100 providers in 39 locations throughout Westchester and Putnam counties in New York, as well as Stamford, Conn. The practice includes primary care physicians and specialists in allergy/immunology, cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, neurology, ophthalmology, obstetrics/gynecology, pediatrics, plastic surgery, podiatry and urology.
"With the addition of Westchester Health Associates, Northwell Health is significantly expanding its footprint in Westchester County and beyond, adding 39 locations to an ambulatory network that already includes more than 550 outpatient facilities throughout the New York area," said Michael J. Dowling, president and CEO of Northwell Health.
