Updated on September 26, 2022

EMU Health, a multi-specialty outpatient medical facility in the Glendale section of Queens, NY, has partnered with Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, a global leader in the treatment of musculoskeletal issues. This new affiliation is the latest step by EMU Health in pursuing its stated goal to continue to elevate the level of health care available to the previously underserved Queens community.

“Rothman Orthopaedic specialists will now be seeing patients at EMU Health in Queens,” explained Daniel Lowy, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of EMU Health.  “This move will bring further 
high-level quality care to patients and their families in our greater Queens area.”

“We are really excited about the continued growth of Rothman Orthopaedic Institute in the New York City market,” said Alexander R. Vaccaro, MD, PhD, MBA, President of Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, Richard H. Rothman Professor and Chairman of the Department of Orthopaedics, and Professor of Neurosurgery at Thomas Jefferson University and Hospitals. “Partnering with EMU Health will provide patients in this region access to some of the best orthopaedic providers in the world, and we look forward to bringing the best musculoskeletal care to the Queens community.”

This affiliation with Rothman Orthopaedic represents the latest initiative by EMU Health to continue growing its world-class medical and patient care offerings in Queens, through recruitment of eminent physicians as well as broader collaborations with other leading medical organizations and entities.

“Our vision at EMU Health is to provide all residents of the various communities in Queens with the highest quality medical and surgical services,” said Efrat Yaish, Chief Clinical Executive and Principal at EMU Health. Yaish noted that this new affiliation with Rothman Orthopaedics is another significant step in pursuing that vision, enabling EMU Health to further expand its resources and services in the realm of musculoskeletal subspecialties, consultations, diagnostics, treatments, and surgeries.

“When selecting a health partner, it is important that the goals, values and vision of patient care are perfectly aligned,” said Christopher T. Olivia, MD, CEO of Rothman Orthopaedic Institute. “EMU Health is an ideal partner for their commitment to bringing high-quality orthopaedic services to the communities, the very principles Rothman Orthopaedics was built on.” 

“Making a positive difference in the community has been a key imperative in the founding and growth of EMU Health,” Lowy added, “and we’re proud to feel that our Glendale home is not only bringing an expanding set of world-class medical care to Queens families, but is emerging as a leading medical treatment destination across the entire NYC Metro area.”
