THE FACE OF HEALTHCARE’S FUTURE
2014 NORTH SHORE-LIJ ANNUAL REPORT

Dear Friends:
At North Shore-LIJ, improving the patient experience is our goal each and every day. It is a
responsibility that our 54,000 plus employees welcome and take extremely seriously. Equal
parts rewarding, demanding and life-changing — our healthcare vocations challenge us and
make us proud.
We believe our employees and volunteers are both the face and future of healthcare. They
are innovators, leaders, healers and caretakers. Their work touches patients and families and
reaches across generations. Today, more than ever before, their actions have national and
international implications. Illnesses like Ebola, for example, once thought to be a problem an
ocean and continent away, have tested our capability to respond to a previously unexpected
threat within a matter of hours.
We are tested in other ways as well.
The introduction of a new payment model, greater emphasis on population health
management and a more diversified business approach — including providing health
insurance and exploring new medical ventures — requires an adaptability and expertise that
has created both opportunity and pressure unlike any we have seen before. Coupled with our
growth and expansion to Brooklyn, Westchester and beyond, these factors will challenge our
ability and resolve to view the opportunities presented to us in a new light.
For all the modern healthcare realities we face, we turn to our employees, volunteers and
supporters to lead the way. They show what is possible now and how it will leave a lasting
impact tomorrow. Significant and generous investments in our health system made by
our closest philanthropic partners — such as those featured in this report — help fuel the
innovative models we develop that set us apart. The lives our employees and volunteers
touch and the difference they make through their work is eternal and truly unmatched by
any other industry.
Mahatma Gandhi encouraged us to be the change we wished to see in the world. It is not an
exaggeration to say that our employees’ work together is doing just that. They are changing
the world and turning our collective wish of better health into a reality for all.
Sincerely,
Michael J. Dowling
President & CEO

donations last year. Our entire staff is dedicated to the health system’s
commitment to excellence, quality, compassion and improving the
health of the community, and works tirelessly every day to make it a
reality for our patients.
With the help of our donors, our passion is translated into outstanding
care and groundbreaking research. Support from individuals, families,
corporations and foundations helps ensure that we can continue our
clinical programs and research, and that we can uphold our promise of
providing exceptional care to the community we serve.

THE BOHLSEN FAMILY
The Bohlsen family — John, Linda and sons Michael
and Kurt — continues their support of North ShoreLIJ’s mission to the communities it serves and their
long-standing commitment to the transformation
of the Southside Hospital campus, with a significant
investment to support its new Emergency Department
— one of the busiest in Suffolk County. Serving an
expanding, active and maturing resident population,
Southside’s Emergency Department now averages
70,000 annual visits, within a space originally designed
for 18,000 visits.
The Bohlsens are motivated to give back, following
North Shore-LIJ’s commitment to expand and elevate
Southside from a local community hospital to a
tertiary hospital with a renowned cardiac surgery
program. The family’s dedication to meet the
healthcare needs of local residents coupled with their
continued commitment to philanthropy will ensure
exceptional healthcare for future generations.

Philanthropists Phyllis and William Mack

North Shore-LIJ for more than 40 years.
The generosity shown by the Macks — for
whom the main Lenox Hill HealthPlex
pavilion is named — places them at the
forefront of the health system’s most
transformative supporters by directing
their philanthropy towards impactful,
mission-critical initiatives.
Lenox Hill HealthPlex brings state-ofthe-art, 24/7 integrated emergency care
and health and wellness services to better
address the total health needs of residents
in downtown Manhattan — an area left
vulnerable with the closing of St. Vincent’s
Hospital in 2010.
