The largest metro areas in New York are New York, Buffalo and Rochester. New York has expanded Medicaid under the ACA (KFF). State programs and clinics: New York health department, women's health (opens in new tab). NYU Langone Health runs a dedicated Endometriosis Center in Manhattan.
Manhattan has several hospital-based endometriosis programs. Weill Cornell Medicine runs an Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain Program on the Upper East Side, and ColumbiaDoctors runs a Comprehensive Pelvic Pain Program within its minimally invasive gynecologic surgery service; NewYork-Presbyterian says the Columbia and Weill Cornell campuses work together on individual care plans. Mount Sinai has a Division of Endometriosis and Pelvic Pain at its East 98th Street practice. In the Bronx, Montefiore Einstein's gynecologic surgery division trains fellows in minimally invasive surgery and says it contributed to the AAGL's endometriosis surgical complexity classification. On Long Island, Stony Brook Medicine's minimally invasive gynecologic surgery service lists endometriosis among the conditions it treats.
The AAGL's fellowship listing includes NYU Langone, Weill Cornell, Columbia, the Icahn School of Medicine, Montefiore, Maimonides, Stony Brook and Northwell. SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn is one of the state's public medical schools. Upstate, the University of Rochester Medical Center lists gynecology services in Rochester; Buffalo and Syracuse are each about 70 air miles from Rochester.
