Lenox Hill Hospital

SPR is serving as environmental counsel for Northwell Health regarding the redevelopment of the Lenox Hill Hospital, located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The redevelopment project will make Lenox Hill a state-of-the-art hospital featuring single-bedded patient rooms, advanced and adaptable operating rooms, an enlarged emergency department, and a relocated, improved ambulance bay. While this project began before the pandemic, Lenox Hill’s important role in responding to the COVID-19 crisis in New York City – which quickly became an epicenter for the pandemic – confirmed the need for these changes to better equip the hospital to address future public health challenges and improve the quality of patient care.
