CEO

NYC Health + Hospitals/South Brooklyn Health

Brooklyn, NY

Ms. Lipyanskaya is the first woman to lead the executive team at NYC Health + Hospitals/South Brooklyn Health, navigating the hospital through the Covid-19 pandemic and its recovery while launching a state-of-the-art inpatient facility. She developed and implemented a campuswide strategic master plan based on a community needs assessment, designed to make the hospital the healthcare destination of choice for approximately 875,000 residents from South Brooklyn and beyond. Ms. Lipyanskaya is leading a facility name change and rebranding campaign, the completion of a new 11-story hospital, and the development of a health and wellness institute to elevate primary and specialty care. She has shepherded the creation of several life-saving services, including a new cardiac catheterization lab and the certification of a percutaneous coronary intervention program. The hospital also earned designation as an advanced primary stroke center by the Joint Commission, adding life-saving clinical services in a borough where heart disease is the second leading cause of premature death. Ms. Lipyanskaya has been featured in City and State’s “Brooklyn Power 100” and recognized on the New York State Assembly floor for her impact on healthcare.
