Raising the standard of health care on Long Island

President & CEO Patrick O’Shaughnessy, DO, MBA, Board Chairman Sal Sodano, Bishop John Barres and Catholic Health’s senior leadership team cut the ribbon to officially open Good Samaritan University Hospital’s new Patient Care Pavilion.

Good Samaritan University Hospital’s New Patient Care Pavilion now open!

After over two years of construction, Good Samaritan University Hospital opened its magnificent new Patient Care Pavilion in December 2025. The 6-story structure was carefully designed to suit the needs of patients, hospital staff and the surrounding community. Representing a $500 million investment in Long Island’s future, the new Patient Care Pavilion is certain to raise the standard of inpatient health care on the south shore of Long Island.

Spacious lobby area.
New private rooms feature interactive patient care screens for both entertainment and communications.
75 large private patient bays for ED patients.
A dedicated Emergency Department for Pediatric patients.
New neuro biplane OR now closer to our expanded Emergency Department for even faster stroke care.

We’ve invested heavily in both our facilities and our people. Yet our greatest differentiator remains our commitment to human compassion and providing a matchless patient experience.”

Report from leadership

The transformation Catholic Health has made—and continues to make—is impressive. Over a few short years, we have transformed into a highly coordinated and truly integrated health care system, growing and diversifying access across Long Island. Whether at our six hospitals—now including the new stateof-the-art Patient Care Pavilion at Good Samaritan University Hospital—our growing number of outpatient Ambulatory Care hubs, or in our home care services, the Catholic Health brand is distinguishing itself with a consistency of purpose and ideals.

Founded in faith, driven by mission, our approach to health care stands apart from that of other regional providers. Every day it sustains our forward trajectory.

Catholic Health’s future looks bright. Through growth, continual expansion, constant innovation and our bedrock mission and values, Catholic Health is becoming the health care system of choice for more and more Long Islanders.

On behalf of the Board of Directors of Catholic Health, thank you for your partnership and support.

Catholic Health’s unwavering commitment to excellence has produced another year of growth and achievement. In 2025, we greatly expanded consumer access to our exceptional services—radiantly demonstrated by our magnificent new Patient Care Pavilion at Good Samaritan University Hospital.

We’ve invested heavily in both our facilities and our people. Yet our greatest differentiator remains our commitment to human compassion and providing a matchless patient experience. Our nearly 18,000 health care heroes come together every day as one team dedicated to that unwavering commitment. It is central to our history, our abiding identity, and our future success.

As you read through the pages of this annual report, you will see excellence, achievement and innovation on every page. Our forward momentum is supported by substantial investments in our facilities, our people, the most advanced health care technologies and, most importantly, a continuing commitment to being the best, or what I often refer to as “relentless improvement.”

Your support is vital to our progress and to making each new year stronger than the last. On behalf of our entire organization—from our superb doctors and nurses, to the many health care professionals who support them, either directly or indirectly—I thank you for standing with all of us and being part of our mission.

A health care system with a Mission

Founded in faith and rooted in our foundational mission, Catholic Health stands apart from its competitors. We hold to a unique understanding of ourselves as a health care system grounded in compassion, human dignity and spirit-minded care, extolling our Catholic identity to build trust with consumers.

Our Pastoral Care organization is composed of one system Vice President, five directors and 35 Board Certified Chaplains. The total includes 15 Priest Chaplains, 3 Deacons, plus 17 Lay and other Clergy Chaplains, each of whom help our patients— and staff—stay focused on the integral social/emotional component of quality health care.

2025 Mission-guided milestones:

• Worked closely with the Diocese of Rockville Centre to strengthen our partnership with both Catholic Faith Network and Catholic Charities.

• Approximately 870 infertility patients received restorative reproductive medicine in line with Catholic teaching, a 20% increase over 2024.

• Approximately 540 patients received fertility care or natural family planning education, a 3% increase over 2024.

Fighting food insecurity

Catholic Health’s Digital & Technology Solutions Department stepped up to support Long Island Cares in fighting food insecurity across our communities. In the days before Thanksgiving, the team packed approximately 1,000 meals to ensure that local families have nourishing food on their tables.

The department also donated hundreds of pounds of food and gift cards to restock the pantry shelves that make a difference for so many.

Making waves

In 2025, Catholic Health moved to widen its public presence by designating an official ambassador of health and wellness. We partnered with Olympic gold medalist Katie Ledecky—the most decorated female swimmer in history—to create an ongoing series of healthy living videos, all extolling the benefits of sound food choices, regular exercise and clinical check-ups.

Through multiple social media channels and in-person events, Katie is helping Catholic Health to intensify our commitment to longevity and wellness, further establishing our credentials as a leader in proactive health care.

“ By promoting healthy habits and positive lifestyle changes, we can bend the disease curve downwards. That will increase wellness and longevity on Long Island while depressing health care costs.”

A few key metrics:

850 + Catholic Health Physician Partners recruited approximately 850 new in-network providers across all specialties, the largest annual recruitment to date, bringing our provider network well past 3,700 total.

8.4% ↑ Witnessed an 8.4% increase in covered lives.

$46M Against an $18M budget for 2025, the system has already generated approximately $46M in value-based care revenue.

20% ↑ MyChart engagement increased by 20% in total logins, illustrating our commitment to digital transformation.

5% ↑ Catholic Health achieved a score of 63% brand familiarity, a 5% increase over last year, well surpassing our annual goal.

Olympic Gold Medalist Katie Ledecky shares her views on health and wellness with sportscaster Bruce Beck before a packed audience at The Tilles Center for the Performing Arts.

Strategic Partnerships and Joint Ventures

“Over the past year, we restructured our business development portfolio and approach to be much more focused on innovation,” said Catholic Health Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy & Growth Officer Joseph Lamantia.

“We look for strategic partnerships with entities that have shared interests for advancing our mission and delivering meaningful value to the communities we serve. Not only are we creating strategic partnerships that may include Joint Ventures to expand our reach, but we are also building a set of Direct-to-Employer (D2E) offerings focused on improving access and value. Finally, we are developing commercialization and venture capabilities to help us grow concepts and improve operations for us and other health systems.”

Further, the opening of Catholic Health Ambulatory & Urgent Care on Route 110 in Melville creates a convenient pathway for both patients and employers situated along Long Island’s primary business corridor.

Through the expertise of our clinical leaders and their respective medical and surgical teams, combined with the vision of its business and administrative leaders, Catholic Health is advancing toward a very bright future. By increasing our visibility, expanding our access points and amplifying our message of excellence, more and more Long Islanders are placing their trust in Catholic Health.

Powered by Digital and Information Technology

Catholic Health continues to strengthen its position as a national leader in digital transformation, advancing reliability, security and performance across all hospitals, care sites and access points.

• First in the world to launch Epic’s AI text messaging for referral scheduling.

• Improved convenience and efficiency by raising self-arrival completion by 37% through eCheck-in and kiosks.

• Optimized digital scheduling for 200+ providers, creating 10,000+ new appointment slots.

Michael Mainiero

& Chief Digital Information Officer: “ Catholic Health is investing heavily in AI to reduce the mundane and simplify the complex. We can take the burden of administrative tasks and data entry out of clinicians’ hands, giving them more time in front of the patient.”

More facilities in more places

Outstanding care requires outstanding facilities. They need to be more than merely functional—they need to be reassuring, intuitive and exude compassion.

In 2025, Catholic Health both expanded and deepened its footprint through the launch of new sites and modernization of several existing facilities. Through careful planning, our design strategy dovetails perfectly with our core identity as the Long Island health care system most dedicated to providing a comforting and confidence-building human experience.

Christine Flaherty Senior Vice President, Real Estate Development & Facilities Management:

“ Good Samaritan’s new Patient Care Pavilion reflects the input of physicians, nurses and patient advocates, all of whom helped us to shape the facility’s design and workflow to ensure patient-centered care. Based on this great collaboration, we will effectuate greater patient comfort and privacy in future building projects, providing a higher level of care for patients and their families, as well as a better work environment for our clinical teams.”

“ St. Francis Hospital leads the way in cardiac innovation, bringing Long Islanders the most advanced treatments long before other health systems. We’re the go-to destination for complex heart care—and, in my opinion, the world’s best in cardiovascular imaging, physiology and structural heart treatment.”

Bringing our “A” game  to Cancer Care

The Catholic Health Cancer Institute, with locations across Long Island, brings together oncologists of every discipline—medical, surgical and radiation—all working together to create a customized treatment strategy specific to the needs of each patient. Strategies are personalized to best address the cancer type and stage, as well as the age and health history of the patient. This requires truly listening to the patient and working together to produce the best possible outcomes.

Catholic Health’s multidisciplinary cancer teams are fortified with the most current and promising cancer research through our affiliation with doctors from Columbia and Weill Cornell Medicine. Our partnership gives us deep and extensive participation in clinical trials, which are signaling new and effective ways to combat cancer.

Beyond using the most advanced oncologic therapies, Catholic Health addresses the physical and emotional aspects of the disease. Our multidisciplinary approach includes nurse navigators, pastoral care counselors and social workers who support our valued patients in their entirety—the body, mind and spirit. We work as a team to make the patient journey as comfortable as possible, always anchored in compassion and respect. Perhaps that’s why more and more Long Islanders are turning to Catholic Health for complex cancer care.

Catholic Health’s cancer patients don’t have a doctor—they have a team of highly experienced experts.”

New developments for Surgical Services

Under the leadership of Gary Gecelter, MD, System Chair for Surgical Services and Surgical Oncology Services and Chair of St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center’s Department of Surgery, Catholic Health continues to strengthen and extend surgical services throughout our system.

“Over the past year, we have concentrated on recruitment of surgical leaders of superlative talent in the fields of complex gastrointestinal, colorectal, liver, pancreatic, pulmonary and esophageal surgery,” said Dr. Gecelter. Doing so has widened and solidified Catholic Health’s foundation and growth in both general and oncologic surgery. “Our aim is to provide the best patient experience in our region through strategic delivery of care and a multidisciplinary decision-making approach. There is no doubt Catholic Health is at the forefront of both science and innovation.”

“In the realm of cancer surgery, the Whipple procedure is one of the most complex, requiring highly skilled staff at a high-acuity hospital with excellent patient outcomes,” explained Sandeep Anantha, MD. “Traditionally, this complex operation is performed with a large abdominal incision. Now, with a high-definition camera and articulating robotic instruments, we can perform the surgery with greater precision, achieving similar results. The minimally invasive approach allows for less pain, faster recovery and vastly improved patient satisfaction.”

In 2025, Eugene Rubach, MD, Gary Gecelter, MD and Sandeep Anantha, MD performed Catholic Health’s first Robotic Whipple procedure at St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center. This advanced minimally invasive procedure treats patients with pancreatic cancer and periampullary tumors.

Island-wide Primary Care

Primary Care is often the first touchpoint for one’s health. In addition to annual check-ups and vaccinations, many patients turn to their Primary Care Provider at the first sign of any health issue. It is a life-long relationship defined by trust, communication and excellence. To accommodate the growing demand for this core tenet of health care, Catholic Health continued its expansion of Primary Care services throughout 2025.

With a larger network of providers, new programs and a growing number of facilities, we increased access to our Primary Care services in the inpatient, outpatient and digital settings to ensure patients across Long Island can engage with our providers according to their unique needs and preferences.

“ For many, one’s relationship with Primary Care is synonymous with their relationship with health care itself. At Catholic Health, it is always our goal to not only employ the most skilled providers to deliver exceptional care, but also ensure patients have seamless access to that care. In 2025, we made great strides on those fronts, and we’ll continue to do so into the years ahead.”

Next level Women’s Health

Catholic Health is committed to providing the highest level of care for every woman who comes through our doors, always with a level of compassion and dignity unique to our system. At our hospitals and care sites throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties, we offer a wide variety of services to ensure women have access to the care they need, when, where and how they need it.

In 2025, we made great strides within Women’s Health services increasing our network of employed physicians and launching numerous programs to address the unique health needs of women across Long Island.

Our services continued to garner national recognition. This year, Good Samaritan University Hospital was re-certified by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers, named a Center of Excellence for Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery, and achieved the highly prestigious international Baby-Friendly designation from Baby-Friendly USA.

These are just a few small factors that allow Catholic Health to stay at the forefront of women’s health, always evolving alongside the needs of our patients.

“ Women’s Health has always been a priority at Catholic Health, and it’s only getting stronger. With a diverse array of programs and services, nationally accredited facilities and a team of world-class experts specializing in gynecology, urology, breast surgery and more, we’re uniquely equipped to care for the women and families of Long Island.”

Advancing care with Integrative Medicine

As Catholic Health continues to expand, we are ushering in a new era of care, one focused on preventive, whole-body health and wellness. We call it Integrative Medicine, and it’s made major developments in 2025.

Our dedicated Catholic Health Center for Integrative Medicine and Optimal Health utilizes evidence-based treatments and guidance to help patients optimize their health and well-being. The Center’s expert team offers treatment plans consisting of medication, physical therapy, psychotherapy, acupuncture, naturopathy, nutritional plans and more, always tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

With Integrative Medicine, Primary Care is no longer simply an annual physical or going to the doctor when you feel sick, but working with providers to understand all aspects of your health and taking the steps to address potential issues before they arise.

Banner year!

Catholic Health attracted more than 200 new patients to its Integrative Medicine and Optimal Health Program since mid-2024. We’ve increased our office to ensure outstanding support of our growing patient base and enhance services.

In 2025, we welcomed Olympic champion Katie Ledecky as Health and Wellness Ambassador at Catholic Health. In this role, she has helped bring awareness to this new approach to medicine, championing the value of proactive, preventive care through a series of video content and in-person events on Long Island. We look forward to spreading this message even further as our partnership continues.

Majoring in Minors

Catholic Health has long been a beacon for pediatric care on Long Island, maintaining a standard of excellence in both general pediatrics and numerous specialties and subspecialties. Our team of expert physicians trained in pediatric cardiology, pulmonology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, hematology, nephrology, neurology and more are prepared to treat even the most complex medical issues for children of all ages.

As the only Level II Pediatric Trauma Center on the south shore of Long Island—and with a dedicated Pediatric Emergency Department and Pediatric Intensive Care Unit—Good Samaritan University Hospital is uniquely equipped to care for the children of Long Island at a moment’s notice.

Mercy Hospital is home to the Family Care Center, a state-of-the-art outpatient hub providing primary care, maternal fetal medicine, pediatrics, obstetrics, gynecology, neonatal care and more to women and children in Nassau County, including those from underserved populations.

And with an expanding array of dedicated inpatient and outpatient pediatric programs throughout the system, Catholic Health is staying true to its mission of ensuring every patient—no matter their age— receives excellent care tailored to their unique needs.

Mercy Hospital celebrated a true miracle as Baby Trinity went home after 146 days in the NICU— stronger, healthier and surrounded by love.

In 2025, we further bolstered our exceptional care with new programs, new physicians and new facilities, including a beautiful Pediatric Emergency Department in the recently opened Patient Care Pavilion at Good Samaritan University Hospital. At every access point, we’re ready to care for our young patients with the utmost compassion.”

Emergency Care when minutes count

Catholic Health is the go-to destination for emergency care on Long Island. All Catholic Health hospitals have Emergency Departments staffed 24/7 with boardcertified Emergency Medicine physicians, registered nurses and designated support staff ready to manage any acute illness or injury. In times of crisis, our teams respond immediately and effectively.

Over the past two years, Catholic Health has expanded and modernized most of its Emergency Departments. Our enhanced, larger ED’s are equipped with the latest technology to deliver efficient, best-practice emergency care.

Good Samaritan University Hospital is the only Level I Adult Trauma/Level II Pediatric Trauma Center on the south shore of Long Island. Additionally, Good Samaritan, Mercy, St. Catherine of Siena and St. Charles Hospitals have each been recognized for excellence in emergency care for older adults.

“ Our Emergency Departments utilize a patientcentered approach allowing our teams to provide superior care that’s tailored to each patient’s needs. Our communities can be assured that Catholic Health’s emergency facilities have the necessary expertise, equipment and resources to deliver optimal care. ”

Expanded Behavioral Health

Catholic Health’s behavioral health services improve the lives and well-being of those with mental health conditions across Long Island. With inpatient behavioral health units at Mercy and St. Catherine of Siena hospitals, inpatient and outpatient chemical dependency programs at Mercy and St. Charles hospitals and a growing number of support services across our system, we’re equipped to address a wide variety of mental health conditions.

Under the leadership of Dr. Ronald Brenner, Chief of Behavioral Health Services, Catholic Health’s licensed professionals tailor care plans to each patient’s specific needs, ensuring they receive the most appropriate care. This patient-centered approach—guided by compassion and excellence—defines our work.

In 2025, we made great strides to accommodate the growing need for behavioral health, increasing access to care in the inpatient, outpatient and digital settings through the launch of new programs and expansion of our existing services.

2025 achievements and activities

“ 2025 marked significant growth for behavioral health across our system. Patient needs are always evolving, and we continue to expand and improve to ensure we are equipped to provide care for those who need it, always with the utmost compassion and dignity.”

Care at Home

A commitment to excellence in three distinct streams

In 2025, we commenced a rebranding of our exceptional home care, palliative care and hospice services. Uniting our “care where you are” programs under a common vision, we are presenting Catholic Health Care at Home as our overarching sub-brand. Within that ecosystem, we have three distinct service offerings, each delivering expert care to patients in the place they feel most comfortable, always with a level of compassion unique to Catholic Health:

• Home Care: Personalized, skilled care, right at home

• Palliative Care: A Quality of Life Program

• Good Shepherd Hospice: A Legacy of Care Program

“By presenting Catholic Health Care at Home as a single, cohesive vision we better communicate our commitment to meeting people where they are, providing expert, compassionate care in the place they feel most comfortable.”

360,280 Home Care visits

159,517 Hospice days of care

2025 achievements and activities

• Managed more than 6,000 telehealth visits.

• E xpanded our innovative Home Care Residency program to include physical therapists.

• St. Catherine of Siena Nursing & Rehabilitation ranked as one of the top skilled nursing facilities in the country in Newsweek’s “America’s Best Nursing Homes 2026” report for the seventh consecutive year, ranking first on Long Island.

Good Shepherd Hospice

Because your loved one deserves the best care—at all times

A vital component of Catholic Health’s care continuum, Good Shepherd Hospice provides the utmost care and comfort—both spiritually and medically. Our inpatient facilities—at Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre and St. Charles Hospital in Port Jefferson—exude a homey environment, carefully designed to support patients and their families when they are feeling most vulnerable. Outpatient hospice services are also widely available.

In difficult times, tension is replaced with tranquility as Catholic Health’s interdisciplinary team supports our patients’ physical, emotional and spiritual needs. Hospice and palliative care patients live their days in a calm and comfortable manner, often engaging in activities they find personally meaningful and restorative. Pain is managed in a way that honors the patient’s wishes.

And we partner with families to support their needs as well, always with the goal of bringing inner peace.

Andrea Hickey

Chaplain, Good Shepherd Hospice:

“In the most challenging times, our hospice professionals are there all the way for our patients and their families. We care for the spirit as much as the body, always centering around what is most meaningful for our patients and their families.”

Training tomorrow’s physician leaders

Catholic Health’s Graduate Medical Education (GME) Program attracts more and more medical graduates from across our region. They choose Catholic Health because of our preeminent reputation across a number of medical specialties, many of which involve complex care and treatment. Trainees are mentored under the supervision of our senior medical staff. Many residents who complete their training with us enter Catholic Health’s employed physician network.

Good Samaritan University Hospital has long offered fully accredited residency training programs in emergency medicine, family medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics and podiatric surgery, as well as fellowship training programs in complex benign gynecology, maternal-fetal medicine and pediatric emergency medicine. Catholic Health has launched similar programs system-wide, adding General Surgery and Psychiatry to our GME portfolio.

Trainees respond to the high expertise our physicians bring to their healing work, as well as Catholic Health’s surrounding culture of caring. It makes them want to stay as members of our team.”

Reaching out to at-risk populations

Catholic Health works to deliver exceptional health care wherever it is needed across Long Island. That includes a special focus on underserved communities. Our Community Outreach and Health Equity initiatives are helping more Long Islanders detect health issues and reverse debilitating trends. By addressing the social determinants of health, Catholic Health is helping to reduce preventable and correctable health disparities.

Health

screenings make the difference!

Catholic Health sends experienced clinicians to convenient community locations to conduct free screenings and provide health education. Our Mobile Clinical Units are “exam rooms on wheels” where Catholic Health clinicians provide free vaccines and test blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar levels and body mass index. Nearly every week, we visit parishes, senior centers, libraries, schools, community centers and large-scale community events. When screenings detect potential health issues, we guide the patient to one of our Bishop McHugh clinics, Family Care Centers or wherever the patient can be treated safely, effectively and with full respect. Our outreach efforts include Catholic Health’s Speakers Bureau, which places our clinical leaders at community events to share lifechanging health education. We offer experts in 26 languages. Requests for speakers and a list of topics can be found on our website.

“ Bending the disease curve to improve health outcomes is at the core of Catholic Health’s Community Health strategy and outreach operations. This year, thousands of people participated in Catholic Health’s outreach events across Long Island, many from our most at-risk communities. Connecting people to preventive and ongoing care services within Catholic Health will surely help them achieve improved, and hopefully maximal, health status ”

The ripple effect of Philanthropy

Philanthropy is often imagined as a single act of generosity, but at Catholic Health it is better understood as a tide of gratitude that touches every shoreline on Long Island. Each gift joins countless others, forming waves of compassion that touch patients, caregivers, families and entire communities.

When neighbors, grateful patients, physicians, staff, volunteers and community partners give together, their collective generosity builds momentum. A single drop may seem modest on its own, but when joined with others, it strengthens the current. That in turn supports advances in medical technology, expands access to care, builds greater healing environments, and launches innovative programs that improve lives across Long Island.

Philanthropy also creates bonds of gratitude, affection and compassion. Gratitude flows from patients whose lives have been changed. Affection grows between caregivers and those they serve. Compassion moves outward, ensuring that no one is left standing on the shore alone. These bonds create a warm and caring community where every individual—patient, donor or caregiver—is acknowledged for his or her unique self.

At Catholic Health, philanthropy is not transactional; it is relational. It reflects a shared belief that healing is a communal responsibility. Together, we become part of something life-giving and enduring: a living current of generosity that sustains hope, restores health and carries us forward.

The ripple effect of philanthropy reminds us that when we give together, we heal together.

LONG LIVE

Our branding evolves

A new iteration of Catholic Health’s brand campaign was launched in 2025, focused on our many access points to quality care. The campaign led to a continued increase in brand familiarity, up 58% since 2020.

“ A brand is much more than an ad, logo or tag line. That’s just our calling card. Our core brand is the way we engage, how we exhibit our culture and values, how we extend ourselves for our consumers. Catholic Health’s brand is the sum of all those experiences. That makes every member of the team responsible for being a true brand ambassador.”
