MediSys Health Network is a 1995-established healthcare service provider[1] that also manages medical facilities. It is best known for operating Brookdale University Hospital and Medical Center[2] (for 12 years),[3][4] Jamaica Hospital Medical Center,[5] and Flushing Hospital.[6]
MediSys also operates a network of family health care clinics and home health agencies.[7]
Overview
In addition to running hospitals, clinics and home health agencies, MediSys has entered—with a partner, the area of organ-procurement.[citation needed]
In 2001, MediSys was entrusted to take over operation of a facility for "350 people with mental illness" of whom 24 had been subjected to unnecessary but profitable surgeries.[8] This success was followed by a similar takeover in 2002.[9]
MediSys also operates Medisys Richmond Hill Family Center, an Urgent Care facility.
Trump Pavilion
MediSys operates "Trump Pavilion, a 228-bed nursing home located in the Jamaica Hospital Medical Center;" the latter is where Donald Trump was born.[10] The nursing home "is named for and was financed by President Trump's mother."[11] Mrs. Trump's family wrote that "contributions in memory of" her late husband "may be made to the Trump Pavilion."[12]
Controversy
MediSys was investigated in 2010 regarding conflict of interest.[2] In 2012, they were forced to drop their ownership/management of Brookdale.[13][3] following Medisys's CEO and others having pleaded guilty to Federal charges. Money problems created friction between nurses and a facility managed by MediSys.[13][14]
