Northwell Health named to TIME100 Most Influential Companies 2025 list
NEW HYDE PARK, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--For the first time, TIME has named Northwell Health, the largest health system in the Northeast, to its TIME100 Most Influential Companies 2025 list. Northwell is the only health system to be recognized on the prestigious list which highlights companies making a difference in 2025, acknowledging innovation, ambition and success. TIME aims to showcase diverse forms of influence and offer examples of impactful corporate leadership. Other companies on the list includes Nintendo, Coinbase, Gilead and LinkedIn. The selection process involves input from editors, contributors, correspondents and external experts. See the full list here and Northwell's profile here.
TIME recognized Northwell for its launch of Northwell Studios last year, a dedicated entity focused on harnessing the power of storytelling and entertainment to humanize health care and spark meaningful social conversations. The health system's most recent project, One South: Portrait of a Psych Unit, created by Gidalya Pictures, premiered at the DC/DOX Film Festival and on HBO and is now streaming on Max. Northwell has collaborated with renowned filmmakers and production companies on five documentaries, garnering six Emmy Awards and an Academy Award shortlist, reaching tens of millions of viewers worldwide. Northwell Studios has new productions in the works, including a second season of Netflix's Lenox Hill, which is filming, and a cookbook titled Well & Nourished coming out this fall, which builds on Northwell's belief that food is medicine—a powerful tool for healing and transformation.
'This recognition from TIME underscores Northwell's unwavering commitment to reimaging health care,' said Mr. Dowling. 'Along with our past achievements, this only fuels our passion even further to innovate, drive positive change and build a healthier future for all. We are incredibly proud of our team's dedication to making a difference in the lives of so many.'
Northwell's recognition comes after Michael J. Dowling, Northwell's president and CEO, was named a 'Titan' and included on the media company's annual TIME100 Health's Most Influential list alongside Eli Lilly CEO David Ricks, GSK CEO Emma Walmsley and Melinda French Gates, philanthropist and founder of Pivotal Ventures.
In 2024, two inventions from Northwell's Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research were named to TIME's Best Inventions list in the medical care category. The first invention recognized was iNav, an artificial intelligence (AI) powered cancer detection tool; the second, ' Double Neural Bypass,' is a brain computer interface technology that is restoring movement and the sense of touch in a clinical trial for people living with paralysis.
As New York's largest health care provider and one of the largest integrated health systems in the U.S., Northwell cares for more than three million people annually. In May, Northwell Health and Nuvance Health announced that the two nonprofit health systems have officially joined together to form a new integrated regional health system that will enhance care for communities across greater New York and Connecticut. The expanded system now encompasses over 104,000 employees, a diverse network of 22,000 nurses and 13,500 providers at 28 hospitals and 1,000 outpatient locations.
Northwell is rooted in the purpose of finding solutions that impact its communities. Since 2019, Northwell has taken the national lead in spotlighting gun violence by launching the Center for Gun Violence Prevention, which brings leaders in health care, business and government together to find solutions to this leading cause of death among children. The Center conducts vital research into the root causes of gun violence, develops evidence-based interventions and implements programs designed to reduce gun-related injuries and deaths. A prime example of its impactful work is a $1.4 million NIH-funded study that facilitated over 80,000 emergency department screenings for gun violence risk, distributed hundreds of gun safety locks and provided crucial safety information to families. Through public awareness campaigns like 'Just Ask,' Northwell has encouraged safe gun storage in homes; the campaign has been adopted by over 1,000 hospitals nationwide. With other initiatives like the annual Northwell Health Gun Violence Prevention Forum – listen to a recap of this year's forum on a special podcast episode of Good Things from Lemonada here – and the National Health Care CEO Council on Gun Violence Prevention and Safety, the health system aims to rally others to help curb this senseless and preventable violence.
To advance knowledge and find cures for diseases, Northwell's Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research comprises over 50 research labs, 3,000 clinical research studies and 5,000 researchers and staff across six institutes: Behavioral Science, Bioelectronic Medicine, Cancer, Health System Science, Molecular Medicine, and Translational Research. Based on breakthroughs at the Feinstein Institutes, a new category of medicine – bioelectronic medicine – which uses techniques like vagus nerve stimulation, has the potential to revolutionize healthcare. In 2025, Northwell opened its first Center for Bioelectronic Medicine, built upon decades of research by the Feinstein Institutes' president and CEO, Kevin J. Tracey, MD. The center offers access to bioelectronic medicine clinical trials and, when available, treatments including vagus nerve stimulation.
Northwell is also training the next generation of health care workers through a partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies and New York City Public Schools to create the Northwell School of Health Sciences, a career-technical education (CTE) high school that will prepare students for careers in health care starting next fall.
Beyond its borders, through its Center for Global Health, Northwell is a worldwide partner, working with countries such as Ukraine, bringing injured soldiers to New York for life-changing care, and Guyana, where the health system has provided mental health services, physician training and supplies.

HBO Documentary Highlights An Innovation In College Mental Health
Poster for HBO documentary According to a 2025 report by Statista, almost 10% of college students receiving mental health care were hospitalized from 2023 to 2024. Hospitalizations are, sometimes, a necessary component of college mental health. For example, an hour-long therapy session, once a week at a campus counseling center, is likely not enough to treat students with intense thoughts/gestures about suicide. However, there're unique considerations when a traditional-aged college student is admitted into a standard inpatient treatment program. The young adult might be required to attend groups with significantly older members who have vastly different life experiences, the student will likely disconnect from school and may not have academic support, and some students/families have a negative stigma about hospitalizations and doubt that it can be helpful. Last year, HBO premiered a two-part documentary titled 'One South: Portrait of A Psych Unit,' to provide an intimate look at how a hospital addresses these concerns. The subject of the documentary was Northwell's Zucker Hillside Hospital, and it's one of the only inpatient psychiatric units in America dedicated to treating college students. Lindsey Megrue and Alexandra Shiva were the filmmakers who produced and directed the documentary. They reported wanting to complete a project on inpatient care because it's often misunderstood and stigmatized. Megrue stated, 'Through our research, we discovered One South and found what they were doing to be unique and groundbreaking by specializing in the treatment of college students.' Background Of The Inpatient Unit Dr. Laura Braider is a clinical psychologist and the associate vice president of behavioral health at Northwell Health. She's a featured therapist in the documentary and explained why the hospital opened a psychiatric unit dedicated to college students. She stated, 'When admitted to general psychiatric units, college students often felt out of place, surrounded by much older adults or individuals experiencing the long-term effects of severe mental illness…We saw two common reactions. Students either minimized their symptoms to get discharged quickly, or they feared that what they were seeing represented their own future. Both responses undermined treatment and recovery.' Braider's comments are supported by the concept of universality in mental health treatment. A 2011 report on Psychology Today exemplified how universality results in a homogeneous group being easier to treat because of share experiences, connection, and hope. Braider shared how universality is a vital aspect to the treatment at the hospital. She stated, 'Since opening our college-focused unit, the impact has been immediate and powerful. Students feel seen. They're surrounded by peers, cared for by staff trained in emerging adult mental health, and immersed in a culture of healing that feels relatable.' Braider also explained how the hospital works with a collection of schools through Northwell's Behavioral Health College Partnership. According to the psychologist, 'We now collaborate with over 100 colleges and universities, offering coordinated navigation protocols and psychiatric services, including emergency transport, inpatient care, post-acute outpatient treatment, and reintegration back to campus.' Responses To The Documentary When asked about reactions to the documentary, Braider commented, 'The response has been overwhelmingly positive, most often gratitude. Families who've known about the program for years told us they finally understood what we do. Even some of our own team members' families said they didn't grasp the full picture until they saw the film.' Megrue and Shiva also discussed positive reactions from the patients in the film. According to the filmmakers, the number of patients who gave their consent to participate was higher than expected. Shiva commented, 'it was definitely a surprise for us." When asked if the patients' age appeared to be a factor in their willingness to participate, both Shiva and Megrue agreed and said that producing the film seemed to confirm the notion that current traditional-aged college students are more willing to discuss mental health issues as compared to previous generations. The filmmaker also explained that this high motivation represented a challenge because it resulted in having limited time with each participant rather than telling their full story. However, Megrue said that participants were allowed to stop the cameras at any time and that most of them described their participation as healing. According to Megrue, 'pretty much every participant said that they wanted to help others.' According to a 2024 report by Psychology Today, the documentary also impacted the field of counseling by providing widespread recognition for Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Braider described DBT as an important element to the treatment program. She commented, 'We needed a model that was proven to work. DBT is the gold standard for treating suicidality and emotional dysregulation. We trained and supervised our entire inpatient team in DBT, and it has been transformative. It created structure, consistency, and real results.' Hopes For the Documentary Shiva reported that her hope was to destigmatize inpatient treatment and to foster empathy for those seeking treatment. She said, 'If a person can talk about their challenges in such an open way, it really does have such an impact. It opens the door to more dialogue.' Megrue said that she hoped to encourage other treatment centers to replicate the program. According to Braider, a motivating factor for participating in the documentary was to encourage students and families who might be hesitant about seeking inpatient treatment. She commented, 'There is hope, and far more of it than most people realize. Many students who are hospitalized go on to live incredibly full, successful lives. It's just not a narrative we hear often, which is why I'm so grateful to the students and families in the documentary who had the courage to share theirs.'
