In addition to stipends, housing on the grounds
is subsidized by the Medical Center and is available
by application.
The housing includes studio, one, two and three-bedroom,
air-conditioned garden apartments that can accommodate
152 families. The complex is interlaced with lawns,
gardens, and play areas.
Rental fees, which include utilities other than
personal telephone and cable television, are nominal.
As housing facilities are limited in quantity, a
living-out allowance is provided to those house
officers who cannot be accommodated. The Housing
Department is made aware of housing opportunities
in the surrounding area and will share this information
with those members of the house staff that cannot
be accommodated in on-campus facilities.
Following are some answers to frequently asked questions
regarding housing availability at NUMC. Unfortunately,
there are not enough apartments to ensure that every
resident receives an apartment. Therefore, apartment
assignment is based purely on the order in which
your application is received, apartment style availability
and your family size. A single person can only move
into a studio apartment. 1 Bedrooms are for married
couples with no children, or a single person with
1 child. 2 Bedrooms are for married, 1 child or
single 2 children. 3 Bedrooms are for married 2
or more children or single more than 2 children.
There are no exceptions. You must provide to the
housing office a copy of your Marriage Certificate
and children's Birth Certificate if applicable.
The only occupants allowed to move into an apartment
are your spouse and children. No other family members
are permitted to live on campus. For example, a
resident requested a 1 BR, because he and his sister
were moving in together. The sister is not permitted
to live on campus. If you are getting married or
a child is being born, or your immediate family
is moving here more than three months after July
1, the upgrading request cannot be completed until
after the event commences, and can only be done
so on a very limited basis.
You will be notified in writing in early May if
you will be assigned an apartment and will receive
further information regarding details about lease
requirements and move dates. Apartments will not
be available before July 1 and may not be ready
until July 15, so you may need to make temporary
arrangements during the first few days of your residency.
All applications for housing (including upgrades
for current residents) must be made online via this
application. I will need copies of all necessary
documents before the final assignment can be made.
Documentation can be sent via E-mail to ccarbone@numc.edu,
via fax to 516-572-5693 or by regular mail to NUMC
Housing Office ~ 2201 Hempstead Turnpike ~ Mailbox
SB54 ~East Meadow, NY 11554. Requests for housing
will not be honored if submitted by means other
than this online application. If you have any questions,
please call the Housing Office at 516-572-6900 during
normal business hours.
The house staff may elect Major Medical insurance
plans. The hospital pays the premium for individual
policies for those who are single and pays the premium
for family policies for those who are married. Members
of the house staff are entitled to hospitalization
when hospitalized at the Nassau University Medical
Center. The County of Nassau assumes the malpractice
liability for all members of the house staff employed
by the Nassau University Medical Center.
