Nassau University Medical Center: Much more than a hospital

Nassau University Medical Center is known for being the largest hospital on Long Island, but when you see our facility towering over the landscape, you should know, it is much more. Our medical center provides a wide range of health care services to people of all ages and backgrounds. From pediatric care to women’s health and specialty treatments to eye care, our fantastic team improves the well-being of hundreds of people every day.

Each year, NUMC provides approximately $1 billion worth of health care services, and we continue to improve the quality and range of those services all the time.

Our new state-of-the-art Primary Care Center is staffed to meet the needs of the entire family. Our Cardiac Center is about to get a big boost with a new Cath Lab that will greatly expand our on-site capabilities to provide life-saving heart procedures.

Women’s health has always been a focus for NUMC. Our Breast Imaging Center provides daily screenings. Our new, modern Women’s Health Center provides convenient access to the highest level of outpatient care. Newly renovated maternity rooms help families welcome their newest members in a comforting environment.

Our Eye Care Center is among our most popular service that keeps our community seeing sharp. NUMC’s Dialysis Center is about to expand and get a big makeover to improve patient service and comfort during treatment. NUMC’s Burn Center is among the most advanced in the region, trusted by our first responders.

Our new Neurosciences Department is also growing with our neurosurgeons working to relieve pain, restore function and treat abnormalities of the brain and spine.

We even provide outstanding dental care on our campus. For more than 40 years, we have helped relieve tooth pain, repair damage, and improve smiles as well as provide routine, complex and emergency oral surgery for patients of all ages.

As our name also makes clear, we’re also a place of learning, dedicated to training the next generation of physicians and specialists. This May, we graduated 138 residents and fellows who will help our community and many others thrive for decades to come.

Ours is a story of resilience and dedication that dates back nearly a century. Through challenging times like the recent pandemic, NUMC has ensured that Nassau’s residents are never without health care provided with decency, dignity and the quality everyone deserves.

It’s no secret that as a safety net hospital, NUMC serves everyone regardless of their ability to pay. That commitment is a big part of what makes us more than a hospital.

Nassau County has growing senior, minority and immigrant populations, which means our patient population is growing. Significant internal reforms made over the last year are increasing our revenues, creating efficiencies, improving the patient experience and expanding the scope of our already impressive range of services.

Nassau needs NUMC because it’s a community resource that helps keep people healthy so they don’t need hospitalization. We’re the only medical center in Nassau that can fulfill the broad mission we have to serve our diverse population.
