Back to EpisodesThe Westchester Brief | 09.02.26: Eight Hospitals, One License
Description
Westchester Medical Center Health Network quietly unified eight hospitals — including Westchester Medical Center itself — under a single operating license on July 15. The network says nothing changes for patients. Nobody outside WMCHealth has independently checked that against the state's own records, and the story went unreported locally for six weeks.
