McDonalds in the sense that they open franchises everywhere. NYU has been expanding all over the world. Not only that, it has completely monopolized a good part of lower manhattan.
Spreading tentacles throughout the region is a normal part of modern healthcare. The regional health systems control the patient population and all the referrals. NYU needs to do that too. Cleveland clinic, Hopkins, Mayo, and MD Anderson have all done the same and spread nationally or even internationally. You can’t have a top bone marrow transplant center or a brain tumor center unless you have a wide network from which to draw patients and funnel them through you center of excellence. Over the past 20 years, patients became a commodity and hospitals fight for them.
