John Collins

President and CEO, NYU Winthrop Hospital

Under the guidance of John F. Collins, Winthrop-University Hospital has become nationally recognized for the high quality of its healthcare professionals and the sophistication of its medical technology. Now affiliated with NYU Langone Health System, NYU Winthrop Hospital, its new name, has nurtured a culture of caring and a sense of community epitomized by their motto: “Your health means everything.” Collins embodies his institution’s commitment to the integrity, comfort and well-being of every patient and the conviction that advancing medical education and research are vital to providing the highest quality of care. U.S. News & World Report named Winthrop as one of the best hospitals in the New York metropolitan area for 2016-17, citing eight high-performing specialties, including gastroenterology and neurosurgery, and five conditions of exceptional common care, including colon cancer and heart bypass. Its distinguished record of clinical excellence is a tribute to its leadership, and that starts with Collins at the top, who first joined the institution in 1997. He also serves on the Board of Directors for the Greater New York Hospital Association, and is an active member of the Region 2 Planning Council of the American Hospital Association. His power stems from leading the legion of medical professionals that save lives every day and the big economic impact NYI Winthrop Hospital has on the community.
