Lenox Hill Hospital in New York is expected to announce this week which institution it has selected as a partner for a merger or affiliation, according to a report by Crain's New York Business.
The hospital had $20 million in operating losses this year after losing market share to competitors in recent years, according to the report.
The hospital is currently considering bids from North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System, NYU Langone Medical Center and Mount Sinai Hospital. North Shore-LIJ has offered to make Lenox Hill and affiliate, while North Shore-LIJ offered a full merger.
Some familiar with the bids support the affiliation as it would provide greater autonomy to Lenox Hill, while other believe only a true merger would improve operational efficiencies, according to the report.
