SCHEDULE A

I. GENERAL INFORMATION

A. Background

Nassau Health Care Corporation (“NHCC”), also known as the NuHealth System, is a New York

State public benefit corporation established under the Public Authorities Law. NHCC operates:

• Nassau University Medical Center (NHCC): A 530-bed tertiary care teaching hospital.

• A. Holly Patterson Extended Care Facility (AHP): A 589-bed skilled nursing facility.

• Community Health Practices (CHP): Operated in partnership with Long Island FQHC, Inc.,

a non-profit, consumer-driven organization serving the region’s most vulnerable

populations.

NHCC is committed to delivering high-quality care, advancing medical education, and serving as

the safety-net health system for Nassau County residents.

Nassau University Medical Center (NHCC): Founded in 1935, NHCC is the County’s primary

source of advanced medical care. Its 19-story tower houses the region’s premier Level I Trauma

Center and serves as a hub for medical education through affiliations with the New York Institute of

Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine, the New York College of Pediatric Medicine, the

American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine, and the Donald and Barbara Zucker

School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell.

A. Holly Patterson Extended Care Facility (AHP): Nationally recognized as a model for skilled

nursing services, AHP provides innovative, patient-centered care that addresses residents’ physical,

emotional, and social needs in a supportive, healing environment.

Community Health Practices: NHCC’s community-based centers deliver comprehensive,

accessible, and preventive care to underserved communities across Long Island, ensuring every

resident has access to a trusted “medical home.”

B. Proposal Overview

NHCC seeks to retain an experienced Consultant who possesses a rare combination of executive

contracting expertise, operational leadership capability, and hands-on management consulting

experience within a complex public health system. The purpose of this engagement is to secure a

high-level, full-spectrum resource capable of supporting the CEO and executive team; improving

the organization’s contracting and procurement infrastructure; coordinating NIFA approval

workflows; driving leadership transformation initiatives; and providing interim C-suite or senior

leadership coverage when required.

This engagement requires an individual with demonstrated ability to “roll up their sleeves” and

perform the work - not simply advise. The Consultant must operate as an extension of NHCC

leadership: an additional set of hands and eyes who works behind the scenes to identify issues,

execute solutions, and deliver measurable operational, financial, and organizational improvements.
