Northwell Health Opens $1.6M Women’s Practice

WHITE PLAINS – Northwell Health has opened Northwell Katz Institute for Women’s Health Multispecialty Care at White Plains, a $1.6 million state-of-the-art facility providing integrated and convenient women’s health services to the community.

Located at 244 Westchester Ave., Suite 316, the 3,535-square-foot practice features seven exam rooms, including a dedicated space for comprehensive OB/GYN ultrasound services available five days a week – eliminating the need for patients to travel to another site. This full-service office provides a wide array of specialized care, including obstetrics and gynecology, urogynecology, cardiology, breast surgery, general surgery and gynecologic oncology, with plans to introduce additional specialties in the future. The facility is equipped to handle a complete scope of gynecological services, such as colposcopies, all designed to support a seamless, integrated patient experience. This comprehensive approach aims to streamline care, improve patient outcomes, and enhance overall well-being.

“This practice brings essential women’s health services directly to where our patients are,” said Karen Murray, MD, chair of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwell’s Phelps Hospital. “Our goal is to bring as much as possible under one roof, so patients aren’t navigating care piecemeal. For example, having cardiology on-site benefits prenatal patients with conditions like high blood pressure, and dedicated GYN oncology and breast surgery services mean patients can seamlessly transition from screenings to specialized follow-up care, all within a coordinated setting.”

A collaborative model centered on women’s health
This marks the first dedicated women’s multispecialty practice for the Katz Institute for Women’s Health in Westchester and the Hudson Valley. Recognizing that 60% of Northwell’s patients are women, this new location puts them at the center, offering personalized care designed to address their unique health care needs, while reducing the stress of managing multiple healthcare appointments. A team of specialists working together in one place creates a smooth and continuous care experience, where clinicians get to know their patients and can make immediate referrals, sometimes even by simply walking down the hall.

“The Katz Institute for Women’s Health champions a truly transformative, collaborative, multidisciplinary care model for women,” said Stacey E. Rosen, MD, Northwell’s senior vice president for women’s health, executive director of the Katz Institute for Women’s Health, and the 2026-2027 immediate past volunteer president of the American Heart Association. “This new multispecialty practice in White Plains brings a diverse team of Katz-affiliated physicians together under one roof, highlighting our focus on providing ‘whole woman’ care. We connect patients with experts across more than 26 medical specialties, facilitate team-based discussions for complex clinical conditions, and utilize women’s health navigators to guide patients through their unique health journey. Our priority is ensuring comprehensive and integrated support for every woman with the highest standards of innovation and research.”

Meeting community needs
The new practice is the third dedicated OB/GYN site for Phelps and the second outside of the hospital, following another office in Dobbs Ferry. It is strategically located within a building that houses several other Northwell services, including orthopedics and primary care. This expansion is further supported by the addition of four new OB providers at Phelps Hospital in the past year.

“Northwell Health is dedicated to expanding our footprint in Westchester to meet the evolving healthcare needs of its residents,” said Marla Koroly, MD, FACP, MBA, senior vice president and market physician executive, Northwell Health Physician Partners (NHPP). “This new practice is a testament to our ongoing investment in delivering integrated, patient-centered care models that prioritize convenience and clinical excellence, ensuring our patients receive the best possible care right in their community.”
