Dr. Grossman’s data-driven approach to quality management has led to consistent, life-saving patient outcomes, using a proprietary dashboard tracking over 800 metrics, including health equity measures. Under his direction, NYU Langone was named the No. 1 comprehensive academic medical center for quality care in the U.S. for three years in a row by Vizient Inc., earned top 20 rankings in 13 clinical specialties by U.S. News & World Report, and received a 5-star rating from CMS and consecutive “A” grades from the Leapfrog Group.

Dr. Grossman was the driving force behind tuition-free medical education, launching the NYU Grossman Long Island School of Medicine and ensuring full-tuition scholarships in perpetuity to train much-needed primary care physicians. Since he took the helm, NYU Langone’s revenue has grown from $2 billion in 2007 to over $14.2 billion in 2024, with an upgrade to “A1” by Moody’s and more than $5 billion in philanthropic giving.
