In what it calls “one of the most ambitious initiatives in its 250-year history,” NewYork-Presbyterian has launched a new $2 billion capital campaign with advanced technologies and digital transformation as core goals.
WHY IT’S IMPORTANT
With the For Every Future initiative, NYP hopes to raise that amount by the end of 2028, as it aims to capitalize on a “pivotal moment in medicine, where artificial intelligence and new technologies are pushing the boundaries of what is possible, from detecting heart failure before it happens by detecting cancer earlier.”
In addition, the big-ticket capital campaign will focus on “transformative” new clinical spaces at NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia University Irving Medical Center, the health system says, and a “state-of-the-art” outpatient space in nearby White Plains.
The goal is to invest heavily in “talent and technology to bring healthcare from the future to the present,” according to NewYork-Presbyterian, with healthcare equity and justice as key players, clinical leaders say.
“NewYork-Presbyterian is a healthcare leader that combines clinical talent and technology to improve patients’ lives,” said Dr. Deepa Kumaraiah, senior vice president and chief medical officer at NewYork-Presbyterian. “With outstanding teams committed to healthcare equity, we continue to improve outcomes, increase access and reduce health disparities.”
THE BIG TREND
The health care system – which includes ten hospitals and approximately 200 primary and specialty care clinics in the metropolitan region – has been a leader in IT-enabled care, such as with its community-based telehealth and advanced virtual care services.
Over the years, Healthcare IT News has offered many case studies and articles exploring the healthcare system’s most cutting-edge technology, from an AI command center to on-demand digital healthcare services, from AI-based analytics to combat the opioid crisis to centralized teletracking for data automation. .
ON THE RECORD
“NewYork-Presbyterian is transforming the way health care is delivered, using technology to put patients’ needs first and expand access to exceptional care,” said Dr. Steven J. Corwin, president and CEO of NewYork-Presbyterian. “Every day we advance research and treatments that will change lives and shape the future of medicine.”
“NewYork-Presbyterian is at the forefront of the future of healthcare,” said Jerry Speyer, co-chair of the NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital Board of Trustees. “Our teams use new technologies to improve the way we prevent, diagnose and treat disease. We deliver that great care to all patients who come to us.”
