Hello whaletail-ga,
Most large hospitals make available the list of doctors who are
affiliated with the hospital.
For instance, Lennox Hill hospital has a publicly-available online
list of 1379 doctors who are affiliated with Lennox Hill.
Are these lists the type of information you are looking for?
If so, I would be glad to check on the status of such lists for the
three hospitals you listed, and post the information about accessing
the lists as an answer to your question.

Thank you for your response to my question. I was unaware that
hositals made available the list of doctors who are affliated wtih the
hospital. Is there anyway to determine from the Lennox Hill list of
the 1379 affliated doctors, the doctors who would send their heart
attack patients to Lennox Hill from their hospital. I understand that
emergency room doctors and heart doctors, as opposed to skin doctors,
could send their heart attack patients to lennox Hill.

I'm not sure I understand the context of your question.
If a patient is at a doctor's office -- even a skin doctor, say -- and
begins to manifest symptoms of a heart attack, the doctor will no
doubt send the patient to the hospital.
However, it may not be the hospital with which the doctor is
affiliated UNLESS (and I'm speculating here) the doctor is either the
patient's general physician or is a heart specialist him/herself...in
these cases, the doctor (unlike the skin doctor) would be following up
the patient's care regarding the heart attack, and might well want the
patient at the hospital with which they (the doctors) are affiliated.
You often can search the hospital affiliation lists for particular
specialties, so that you could extract, e.g., all the cardiologists
from the affiliations list.
Is that what you need? Or are you after something different? If so,
please explain in a bit more detail what it is you need.
Thanks.
