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.
