NYC Health + Hospitals has appointed Khoi Luong, DO, senior vice president of post-acute care for the public health system, the nation’s largest.
Luong oversees all aspects of operations and patient care provided in five skilled nursing facilities, a long-term acute care hospital, and multiple short-term rehabilitation and adult day healthcare programs.
The appointment was effective Feb. 15.

Throughout his career with NYC Health + Hospitals, he increased clinical capabilities across six sites.
As a member of the system’s executive COVID-19 response team, he assisted with the set up and oversight of medical operations of a 350-bed surge facility during the peak of the pandemic. Under his leadership, NYC Health + Hospitals’ five post-acute and long-term care facilities have been ranked as some of the best in the nation by the Centers for Medicaid & Medicare Services, Newsweek, and U.S. News & World Report.
“Post-acute care and geriatric medicine are passions of mine,” Luong said. “I look forward to working with post-acute leaders in providing high-quality and compassionate care to NYC residents while strengthening our partnerships throughout the health system and community.”
Luong earned a bachelor’s degree in microbiology and cell science from the University of Florida and a degree of osteopathic medicine from Nova Southeastern University College of Osteopathic Medicine. He is seeking a masters of business administration from the University of Massachusetts, NYC Health + Hospitals said in a statement.
