Northwell Health Tech Stack
New York's largest health system operating 28 hospitals and 1,000+ outpatient sites
Northwell Health operates New York State's largest integrated health network, serving over two million patients annually across 28 hospitals and a thousand-plus outpatient facilities. The tech stack reveals a traditional health-system architecture: Epic for clinical workflows, Microsoft enterprise tools for administration, and Google Cloud infrastructure (BigQuery, Cloud Run, Pub/Sub) for analytics and data pipelines. The recent adoption of Alation signals a push toward data governance and self-service analytics — a common priority for health systems struggling with fragmented patient and operational data. Hiring is heavily weighted toward clinical staff (1,548 healthcare roles) with minimal engineering (10 roles), reflecting a provider-first operational model.
