Northwell Health is going to be the lead sponsor of the professional soccer team that is going to make its home at Mount Vernon’s Memorial Field, according to an announcement from The Westchester Soccer Club (WSC), a new USL League One franchise.

“We are thrilled to announce this groundbreaking partnership with Northwell Health, whose unparalleled commitment to exceptional healthcare and community service will greatly benefit our team and supporters,” said Mitch Baruchowitz, principal owner of the Westchester Soccer Club. “Northwell shares our focus on youth development and wellness through sports, which is clear in their many sports and event-based initiatives and they are the perfect partner to launch our team with.”

“We are proud to align ourselves with The Westchester Soccer Club. They are community focused and share our vision of providing a space for children and adults to be active and healthy,” said Kevin Beiner, senior vice president and regional executive director of Northwell. “New York, and especially Westchester is home to thousands of our patients as well as our employees. We look forward to developing future community health and wellness programming with them.”

WSC explained that Northwell Health’s logo will be featured on team uniforms in both the 2025 and 2026 seasons. Northwell will sponsor WSC telecasts and the streaming of its League One games across several platforms, and Northwell will be featured at the stadium in Mount Vernon. The soccer club and Northwell also plan to collaborate on health and fitness events for families and work together to promote wellness within the community.
