Northwell Health (commonly shortened to simply "Northwell") is a nonprofit integrated healthcare network that is New York State's largest healthcare provider and private employer, with more than 105,000 employees.

The health system spans two states, New York and Connecticut. It comprises 28 hospitals and over 1,000 ambulatory care facilities across Long Island, the five boroughs of New York City, Westchester, the Hudson Valley, and Western Connecticut. The flagship hospitals of Northwell are North Shore University Hospital and Long Island Jewish Medical Center (LIJ Medical Center). The healthcare network is also headquartered on Long Island, in New Hyde Park, Nassau County.

History

In the 1990's North Shore University Hospital in Manhasset began to expand, first purchasing Glen Cove Hospital in 1990 which formed North Shore Health Systems Inc. Throughout the decade the health network began to purchase other surrounding hospitals and by 1997 had a total of 10 hospitals spanning from Staten Island to Suffolk County, New York.

In 1997 North Shore Health Systems merged with Long Island Jewish Medical Center forming the "North Shore-Long Island Jewish Health System" after a failed attempt by the United States Department of Justice to block the two health networks from doing so. In September of 2015 the health system announced it would be changing its name to Northwell Health.

More recently, the company signed a deal with software technology company Playback Health, to launch platforms for patient medical information to retain their healthcare data.

In April 2022, Northwell Health announced it will be providing telemedicine support of around 18,000 lb of medical supplies to the front-line regions of Ukraine to aid in the humanitarian crisis.

In May 2025, it was announced that Northwell's planned merger with Nuvance Health was completed. The health system would continue operating under the Northwell name and it marks the first time the health system would operate beyond New York.

Billing Controversy

On 12 April 2024, New York Attorney General Letitia James announced that her office secured more than 1 million dollars from Northwell after they deceptively advertised that three of their emergency departments were COVID-19 testing sites. The health system would bill the claim as an ER visit even though the only care that some received was having been administered a COVID test. Others who sought care at their ERs for other issues were charged for the COVID test as well as the ER visit, despite federal and state laws prohibiting the billing of COVID-19 tests and related services. Northwell paid about $650,000 in penalties to the state and refunded about $400,000 to around 2,000 patients.
