Sean T. Granahan, President and General Counsel of The Floating Hospital, discusses his career journey and the path that led him to one of New York City’s largest providers of charity healthcare. He shares how the organization, founded in 1866, evolved from a floating medical facility serving underserved families on New York’s waterways into a comprehensive healthcare provider delivering medical, dental, behavioral health, and support services to families living in homeless shelters and domestic violence safe houses.
Granahan discusses the innovative ways the organization addresses healthcare disparities across New York City. He also highlights the unique design and patient-centered experience of the Long Island City clinic, the impact of growing demand for services, and the challenges posed by changing federal funding mandates.
As The Floating Hospital prepares to celebrate its 160th Anniversary Gala, Granahan shares how supporters can play a role in expanding access to critical healthcare and support services for families in need.
