Message from the CEO
I would like to welcome you to our website, designed
to be easily navigated and which will highlight
our many quality programs, dedicated staff, and
available advances in technology and treatment.
The Nassau Health Care Corporation represents a
1,200 bed health care system, which includes a 530
bed tertiary care teaching hospital (Nassau University
Medical Center), an 589-bed skilled nursing facility
(A. Holly Patterson Extended Care Facility), and a network of
seven Community Health Centers. For almost three
quarters of a century, our mission has been to provide
quality health care to all the people in Nassau
County regardless of ability to pay.
The services provided by the Nassau Health Care
Corporation impact the lives of hundreds of thousands
of Long Islanders each year. More than 75,000 were
treated in the Medical Center’s Emergency Room last
year and almost 200,000 people in its more than
80 specialty outpatient clinics. Another 23,000
people received inpatient care at the Medical Center
and over 2,000 babies were born there. The Community
Health Center recorded 65,000 visits at their seven
sites providing high-quality and timely medical
care in neighborhoods of low income and limited
private medical facilities.
As the largest safety net hospital and an organization
with more than 3,400 employees, we are proud of
the dedicated professionals who help us maintain
our historic mission. These caring physicians, nurses,
other professionals and volunteers help us on a
daily basis to provide quality care with compassion
and a sense of community so important to the healing
process.
Please do not hesitate to contact our webmaster if you have any questions about our programs or facilities.
Sincerely,
Arthur Gianelli
CEO
Nassau Health Care Corporation
