New York State requires a Health Equity Impact Assessment (HEIA) to be filed with a Certificate of Need (CON) application for construction, renovation, and other changes in service at Maimonides Health facilities, which provides information on how the project may impact the delivery of or access to the care we provide our communities. The HEIA seeks to include community feedback as well as an objective, independent assessment of the anticipated impact of the project on the public health of, delivery of, or access to hospital and health-related care for the communities we serve in Brooklyn and beyond.
Learn more about HEIAs and CONs from the New York State Department of Health.
