Rethinking Private-Public Partnership in the Health Care Sector: The Case of Municipal Hospital Affiliation MERLIN CHOWKWANYUN SUMMARY: By the late 1950s, New York City’s public hospital system—more extensive than any in the nation—was falling apart, with dilapidated buildings and personnel shortages. In response, Mayor Robert Wagner authorized an affiliation plan whereby the city paid private academic medical centers to oversee training programs, administrative tasks, and resource procurement. Affiliation sparked vigorous protest from critics, who saw it as both an incursion on the autonomy of community-oriented public hospitals and the steamrolling of private interests over public ones. In the wake of the New York City fiscal crisis of 1975, however, the viability of a purely public hospital system withered, given the new economic climate facing the city. In its place was a new institutional form: affiliation and the public-private provision of public health care.

  • Gouverneur Hospital
    81 APPENDIX II CASE STUDY: GOUVERNEUR HOSPITAL The Gouverneur Hospital (GH) represents one of New York City’s longest and fiercest struggles initiated in the 60s and lasting through the 70s between Lower East Side (LES) community groups and the medical establishment. This fight was only conceived through community- building and unifying efforts among multi-racial, multi- ethnic residents who demanded the maintenance of a community- based hospital threatened to be permanently closed. After twenty- five years it is refreshing to interview several participants and learn about the Gouverneur experience, its actors, the institutions and their positions/claims, issues of shared concern and interest, the basis for collective action/coalition-building, challenges, successes and lessons learned. METHODOLOGY To document the fight for Gouverneur, six people were interviewed—four of them had been community residents and two had been professional social workers during those years. Participants were asked five questions (Exhibit 1). Additionally, a 82 series of newspaper articles and documents from the Department of Hospitals was reviewed (Exhibit 2). The GH history and events are detailed in the chronology of events (Exhibit 3). ACTORS, INSTITUTIONS: POSITIONS AND CLAIMS 1. The Department of Hospitals In the 1950s and 1960s, the municipal health system was under the umbrella of the Department of Hospitals (DH). Dr. Ray E. Trussell, DH Commissioner appointed by Mayor Wagner, approved staff appointments, hospital inspections, affiliations and licenses and had the authority to remove medical officers. According to Dr. Trussell, the Department also “certified City charge patients in voluntary hospitals to the Comptroller for payment for care from the Charitable Institutions Budget” and later Medicaid reimbursements.

  • Rethinking Private-Public Partnership in the Health Care Sector: the Case of Municipal Hospital Affiliation
    Rethinking Private-Public Partnership in the Health Care Sector: The Case of Municipal Hospital Affiliation MERLIN CHOWKWANYUN summary: By the late 1950s, New York City’s public hospital system—more exten- sive than any in the nation—was falling apart, with dilapidated buildings and personnel shortages. In response, Mayor Robert Wagner authorized an affliation plan whereby the city paid private academic medical centers to oversee training programs, administrative tasks, and resource procurement. Affliation sparked vigorous protest from critics, who saw it as both an incursion on the autonomy of community-oriented public hospitals and the steamrolling of private interests over public ones. In the wake of the New York City fscal crisis of 1975, however, the viability of a purely public hospital system withered, given the new economic climate facing the city. In its place was a new institutional form: affliation and the public-private provision of public health care. keywords: urban health, New York City, protest, hospitals, health services, health care, public health, public policy, private-public partnerships, academic medical centers How much “private” should there be in a “public” good? This is a question that has loomed in health care, long before the term “private-public partnership” appeared on the public policy horizon. But it is a challenging one to answer at the outset, beginning with the ambi- guity of the core terms of debate. Social welfare provision, after all, has persistently defed a clean demarcation between the “public” and the “private.” Health care was and is no exception. Indeed, it might well be the most prominent exemplar of the rule.
