- Greater NY Hospital Association: Greater New York Hospital Association (GNYHA), founded in 1904, is a one-of-a-kind trade association comprising nearly 300 hospitals and continuing care facilities, both voluntary and public, in the metropolitan New York area and throughout the State, as well as New Jersey, Connecticut, and Rhode Island. Over the years, with the help of our members, we have redefined what a trade association is and should be, and have created a dynamic center for discussion and collective advocacy.
The issues faced by GNYHA’s member hospitals are numerous and complex—and they transcend State borders. That’s why we define our membership not by geography, but by our common mission to serve health care providers, support patients in their journey toward better health, sustain communities for a brighter future, and strengthen partnerships that promote high-quality, more affordable health care.
GNYHA is a place where anything and everything is achievable—because we represent institutions and executives of keen vision and passion. And our members know that by mobilizing our collective strength, experience, and insight, we have the ability to transform adversity into opportunity. GNYHA approaches each challenge and new day with fervor and an absolute commitment to creativity and excellence. And, most important, GNYHA believes that nothing is impossible
