Branded Collaborations & Affiliations

WCM is open to Collaborations & Affiliations with international institutions that include a level of WCM branding and oversight, both clinical and managerial, directly connecting an international provider to WCM’s resources in New York City. Collaborating partners must comply with WCM quality standards to maintain branding. Examples include:

• Independent service lines that are affiliated with WCM (e.g. neurosciences, oncology, etc.) 

• An existing provider that affiliates with WCM, allowing WCM to have quality, patient safety, and operational oversight of clinical operations 

• WCM CME Education Center affiliated with an existing provider

Management & Operations

Management and Operations involve WCM in the overall management and operations of a fully-branded service line or full hospital facility. This includes complete management of clinical operations by WCM, with quality and safety control and rollout of clinical policies and protocols by WCM. Resources provided would include local WCM leadership.
