NYC Health + Hospitals-Maimonides Merger Clears State Public Health Council
New York's Public Health and Health Planning Council unanimously approved NYC Health + Hospitals' proposed acquisition of Maimonides Health on September 17, 2026. The transaction still requires additional state regulatory approvals before closing. NYC Health + Hospitals is the nation's largest public health system and a major Medicaid provider in New York City. The merger would consolidate provider capacity in Brooklyn, where both systems operate and serve substantial Medicaid and uninsured populations.
Why it mattersThe merger of two major safety-net systems could reshape Medicaid provider networks, capitation rate negotiations, and access to care for New York City Medicaid managed care enrollees in Brooklyn.
