ROCKVILLE CENTRE, N.Y. -- (Business Wire)

Catholic Health, an integrated health system located on Long Island, NY, and GE HealthCare (Nasdaq: GEHC) announced today a 10-year strategic partnership, known as a Care Alliance, valued at approximately $500 million, to help expand access to advanced imaging, precision diagnostics and AI-enabled technology across Catholic Health in support of innovative, compassionate and patient-centered care. This will be one of the largest Care Alliances between GE HealthCare and a leading healthcare system in the United States to date; spanning equipment, service, digital solutions, cloud solutions and AI-enabled technologies.

The Care Alliance centers on system-wide technology and equipment modernization across key Catholic Health service lines, including cardiology, oncology, neurology, and women’s health. Through this modernization, Catholic Health aims to:

• Expand Catholic Health’s renowned cardiology practice by extending advanced cardiac imaging to multiple outpatient and ambulatory sites, helping improve access to high-quality cardiac services closer to home.
• Reduce delays in the oncology care journey by adding MR, CT, and PET technologies equipped with on-device AI solutions, with the goal of decreasing the time from diagnostic imaging to treatment.
• Expand nuclear medicine capabilities at Catholic Health’s St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center® and Good Samaritan University Hospital flagship locations to enhance diagnostic confidence in oncology.
• Add hundreds of ultrasound systems to help increase department efficiency and support clinician confidence at the point of care, including at the bedside.
• Enhance women's health with expanded capabilities in OB/GYN and maternal fetal medicine.

A unique aspect of the Care Alliance is an embedded cardiovascular scientist that can work directly with Catholic Health clinicians to help highlight physician perspectives, clinical insights and patient care needs, potentially informing future equipment and technology considerations.

“This Care Alliance represents an important investment in the future of health care on Long Island and reflects Catholic Health’s commitment to innovating in ways that improve how care is delivered,” said Gary Havican, Interim President and CEO and Chief Operating Officer of Catholic Health. “By combining Catholic Health’s clinical expertise and commitment to compassionate, high-quality care with GE HealthCare’s advanced technology, AI-driven tools, and digital capabilities, we are enhancing our ability to deliver precision care, expand access to specialized services closer to home, and create a more seamless experience for patients and clinicians. The partnership also gives our physicians and care teams a meaningful voice in shaping the future of care so innovation is guided by real clinical and patient needs.”

As part of the 10-year Care Alliance, approximately 50% of equipment additions will arrive at Catholic Health clinical sites during the first three years of the agreement. The agreement is also expected to generate capital savings compared with traditional equipment purchasing approaches thanks to unitary payments and accelerators, which can allow Catholic Health to reinvest resources in technology modernization, expanded patient access and clinical program growth.

For patients, the partnership is designed to have a tangible impact on their clinical experience. AI-enabled tools, standardized equipment and more consistent workflows can help Catholic Health to increase capacity, reduce delays in diagnosis and treatment, improve appointment availability, and bring specialized services — including cardiology, neurology, women’s health and cancer care — closer to home.

Patients may begin to see benefits during the first year of the agreement with equipment additions expected to arrive within months, including contrast-enhanced mammography to improve access to breast imaging and biopsy services; expanded diagnostic imaging capabilities across multiple modalities; and upgraded maternal-infant care monitoring technologies at Good Samaritan University Hospital.

Clinicians will also benefit from enhanced operational support and ongoing collaboration with GE HealthCare experts to help optimize workflows, strengthen clinical decision-making and support innovation.

Beyond equipment additions and service line expansion, the Care Alliance includes comprehensive imaging, biomedical maintenance, and service support. A 10-year, multivendor service agreement will cover delivery and maintenance of equipment across 40+ sites, including lifecycle and fleet management, as well as comprehensive education and training. The agreement is designed to support Catholic Health as it maximizes uptime, boosts asset utilization, lowers lifecycle costs, increases operational efficiency, and enhances patient care. This service component helps distinguish the Care Alliance from a traditional equipment agreement, positioning GE HealthCare as a long-term partner in supporting equipment performance and reliability across the system.

The Care Alliance will also emphasize AI, cloud, and software solutions designed to deliver actionable insights and drive operational efficiency. Digital solutions included in the Care Alliance aim to reduce manual tasks, ease cognitive load for clinicians, improve clarity for patients, and create a more seamless clinical environment. One example is Imaging 360, a cloud-based radiology operations platform that unifies radiology workflows, centralizes performance insights, and enables remote scanning support. By providing a system-wide view of imaging operations, it can help multi-site health systems improve efficiency, patient access, and care consistency.

“This Care Alliance with Catholic Health is grounded in deep collaboration to expand access and advance high-quality care across Long Island,” said Rachel Gilbreath, region president, East, U.S. and Canada at GE HealthCare. “Over the next decade, we will work side-by-side to implement innovative technology and processes across the enterprise, integrate AI, cloud, and software solutions, and support clinical excellence, including cardiology, to position Catholic Health to improve outcomes and operational performance. Together, we are aligning people, process, and technology to deliver measurable impact for patients and clinicians.”

Over the course of the Care Alliance, Catholic Health will add expanded capabilities and service lines at St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center®, St. Charles Hospital, Good Samaritan University Hospital, St. Joseph Hospital, St. Catherine of Siena Hospital, and Mercy Hospital, as well as 36 other sites. Equipment will span modalities including CT, PET/CT, nuclear medicine, MR, mammography, X-ray, surgery, ultrasound, women’s health, anesthesia, diagnostic cardiology, and maternal infant care.

Catholic Health and GE HealthCare relationship

Outside of this agreement, Catholic Health and GE HealthCare have a history of working together on precision care capabilities, including Catholic Health’s early adoption of GE HealthCare’s proprietary PET agent Flyrcado™ (flurpiridaz F 18), which supports greater diagnostic confidence and more personalized care planning. In April 2025, St. Francis Hospital & Heart Center® was the first U.S. site to perform an exercise stress PET myocardial perfusion imaging study using GE HealthCare’s Flyrcado™ (flurpiridaz F 18).
