NuHealth president/CEO Megan Ryan reports healthy numbers – Long Island Press

Megan C. Ryan leads the Nassau Healthcare Corporation, the public benefit corporation overseeing Nassau University Medical Center in East Meadow, A. Holly Patterson Extended Care Facility and  six outpatient clinics that together serve 275,000 patients annually — approximately 80% of whom are on Medicare, Medicaid or uninsured.

NUMC, the county’s only public hospital — a teaching hospital with over 300 residents —  treated 67,000 emergency room patients last year, offers the only multiplace hyperbaric chamber on Long Island, Nassau’s only burn center, multiple in-patient adolescent and adult psychiatric units.

More than 70% of its growing patient population are at-risk racial minorities and more than 60% are women. It also contracts with the county to provide healthcare to 700 incarcerated individuals. And the A. Holly Patterson Extended Care Facility, the county’s only public skilled nursing facility, is co-operated with Harmony.
