MediSys also operates a network of family health care clinics and home health agencies. [7]

Overview

In addition to running hospitals, clinics and home health agencies, MediSys has entered—with a partner, the area of organ-procurement.[ citation needed ]

In 2001, MediSys was entrusted to take over operation of a facility for "350 people with mental illness" of whom 24 had been subjected to unnecessary but profitable surgeries. [8] This success was followed by a similar takeover in 2002. [9]

MediSys also operates Medisys Richmond Hill Family Center, an Urgent Care facility.

Trump Pavilion

MediSys operates "Trump Pavilion, a 228-bed nursing home located in the Jamaica Hospital Medical Center;" the latter is where Donald Trump was born. [10] The nursing home "is named for and was financed by President Trump's mother." [11] Mrs. Trump's family wrote that "contributions in memory of" her late husband "may be made to the Trump Pavilion." [12]

Controversy

MediSys was investigated in 2010 regarding conflict of interest. [2] In 2012, they were forced to drop their ownership/management of Brookdale. [13] [3] following Medisys's CEO and others having pleaded guilty to Federal charges. Money problems created friction between nurses and a facility managed by MediSys. [13] [14]
