“Ethisphere highlights what good corporate character and ethical business practices look like. To see Northwell listed among the best companies worldwide is a tremendous honor,” said Greg Radinsky, senior vice president and Northwell’s chief corporate compliance officer. “Northwell is committed to integrity, innovation and excellence and the health system succeeds through a team approach.”
