of planning for additional expansion"
in Queens.
Back in February 2019,
Northwell Health and NYC
Health + Hospitals collaborated
to open a $47.7 million
shared, centralized laboratory
in Little Neck. Browning
said that the state-of-the-art
lab utilizes robotics, which allows
for more precise testing
and results. She added that
the latest technology will allow
highly trained lab technologists
to do perform "more
rewarding work" instead of
just technical jobs.
The LEED Silver-certifi ed
lab primarily performs microbiology
tests, which includes
molecular diagnostics from
local hospitals, clinics and
physician offi ces. The facility
is administered by Northwell
Health Labs, which performs
more than 30 million tests each
year and handles more than
200,000 surgical pathology
specimens annually.
The Little Neck lab as well
as at Northwell's Core Lab
in Lake Success will process
about six million non-urgent
tests from NYC + Hospitals,
which will allow for public
hospital lab to focus on urgent
testing.
“This state-of-the-art facility
shows what’s possible
when two mission-driven organizations
collaborate,” said
Michael J. Dowling, president
and CEO at Northwell Health.
“Northwell Health’s laboratory
expertise, along with exciting
new technology deployed here,
will help turn tests around
faster and more effi ciently.
That’s good for all of the communities
served by Northwell
and NYC Health + Hospitals.”
Browning added that the
hospital looks into multiple
databases, including census
data and specialty data, to
gauge what people in the borough
need. Data showed that
Queens residents are in need
of more primary care services,
high-quality cancer care,
care for heart and lung disease,
bariatric surgery and
diabetes care. Additionally,
Queens residents are also in
need of expanded women's
health services, orthopedic
care for an aging population
and joint replacement and
sports medicine for "younger
pockets" of the borough.
