Overview

Trump Pavilion

MediSys operates "Trump Pavilion, a 228-bed nursing home located in the Jamaica Hospital Medical Center;" the latter is where Donald Trump was born. The nursing home "is named for and was financed by President Trump's mother." Mrs. Trump's family wrote that "contributions in memory of" her late husband "may be made to the Trump Pavilion."

Controversy

MediSys was investigated in 2010 regarding conflict of interest. In 2012, they were forced to drop their ownership/management of Brookdale. following Medisys's CEO and others having pleaded guilty to Federal charges. Money problems created friction between nurses and a facility managed by MediSys.
