The 36,000-square-foot, two-story lab will perform microbiology tests, including molecular diagnostics. It is part of the Clinical Laboratory of New York Alliance, formed in 2014 by Northwell and NYC Health + Hospitals to facilitate lab service integration.

Both organizations’ employees will staff the new laboratory. The facility is expected to consolidate and streamline operations at both organizations.

“This exciting, mutually beneficial partnership provides a unique opportunity to standardize the quality and performance of lab services, benefitting patients in our community and the entire metropolitan area, while achieving cost savings for both organizations,” said Michael J. Dowling, president and CEO at Northwell Health.
