The Nassau University Medical Center is a 530-licensed bed tertiary-care teaching hospital that has been the primary source of medical care for millions of Nassau County residents since 1935. It is also the heart of NuHealth – a Long Island-based health system committed to delivering coordinated medical care and disease and lifestyle management to everyone, at every stage of life.

With its 19-story main tower, Nassau University Medical Center is Nassau County’s tallest building and a familiar Long Island landmark. As the region’s premier Level I trauma center NUMC treats many of the County’s most critically injured patients and has long carried the responsibility of being the region’s “safety net” hospital.

Some outstanding features Include:

• Nassau County Firefighters Burn Center

• Zaki Hossain Center for Hypertension, Diabetes and Vascular Disease

• Recently renovated Emergency Room

Recognized nationally as a model for skilled nursing facilities, the A. Holly Patterson Extended Care Facility offers innovative care in an environment that treats the “whole” person. The skilled and caring medical staff responds to the physical, social and emotional needs of each resident.

Extensive medical care is provided by the Facility’s physician staff who are on-site 7 days a week and on-call 24/7 in such diverse areas as rehabilitation services, diagnostic and radiology services, psychiatric and psychological care, dental and ophthalmology care, podiatry services, cardiology evaluations/treatment, and neurological testing. On-site ambulatory clinics provide residents the convenience of accessible specialty medical care. Should inpatient hospital care be necessary, residents are transferred to nearby Nassau University Medical Center, one of the finest teaching hospitals in the region or to the hospital of the resident’s choice. The doctors and nurses at A Holly Patterson continuously work to improve their skills through education. Our health care professionals provide updates on clinical procedures, advances in treatments, new pharmaceutical therapies, and a host of other current medical topics.

Harmony Healthcare Long Island (“HHLI”) was formed in 2009 as a look-alike public-entity FQHC co-operated by NuHealth and by a sperately appointed not-for-profit Board of Directors. Its original name was Long Island FQHC, Inc. It was rebranded as HHLI in 2024.

HHLI operates family health centers in six locations in Nassau County: Elmont, Freeport, Hempstead, Oceanside, Roosevelt, and Westbury. It also runs three school-based clinics in Freeport High School, Roosevelt High School, and Westbury High School. All of its health centers have been designated by the National Committee for Quality Assurance as Patient Centered Medical Homes since 2014.

HHLI delivers primary, preventive, and specialty care visits annually. Its providers offer adult and family medicine, pediatrics, women’s health, behavioral health, optometry, podiatry, and dental care services.

NuHealth’s roots go deep into Long Island’s history. What began in 1935 as Meadowbrook Hospital — a 200-bed general hospital in then-rural East Meadow, New York — has become part of a unique health organization with multiple care centers and a commitment to deliver excellent essential care to everyone, at every stage of life.

Following a series of epidemics in the early decades of the 20th century, concerned citizens petitioned Nassau County to build “a public general hospital for the care and treatment of the sick in the County of Nassau.” In early 1931, Nassau purchased a 75-acre site in the geographic center of the county at a cost of $95,625. Over the next four years, the original four-story main building with its twin solariums, as well as eight outbuildings, rose from the potato farms of the Hempstead Plains. It would be the best-equipped hospital in the county, and it bore what was a hefty price tag in the day — the buildings themselves cost almost $1.6 million, and the equipment and furnishings added another $178,000. On July 15, 1935, Meadowbrook Hospital finally admitted its first patient.

At that time, Nassau’s entire population only topped 300,000. During its first year of operation, Meadowbrook Hospital’s staff of 330 treated fewer than 150 people a day as inpatients, seeing 560 patients in the emergency room, and 813 in ambulatory patient clinics. But, as the area developed, the hospital’s proximity to the new and booming postwar community of Levittown ensured it an increasingly important role in Nassau’s growth. The hospital expanded several times throughout the 40’s and 50’s and celebrated its silver anniversary in 1960 with a two-story addition and the germ of an idea: to become a complete tertiary-care teaching medical center serving the needs of a population that reached one million that year. It would be ten more years before Meadowbrook Hospital became the Nassau County Medical Center (“NCMC”), and another four before its crowning achievement: the February 1974 opening of the 19-story 1,000,000-square-foot Dynamic Care Building…still Nassau’s tallest building, and a familiar Long Island landmark.

More than the region’s “safety net” hospital, NCMC became Nassau’s premier Level I Trauma Center, and continued to add programs and services to meet the public’s needs, including the county’s only complete state-of-the-art burn center. It also has a strong educational commitment, and has provided thousands of young physicians, nurses and other health care professionals with the opportunity to begin their careers working alongside experienced, talented professionals in a high-volume, fast-paced medical center. Today, the hospital, renamed the Nassau University Medical Center in acknowledgement of its academic associations, is affiliated with the North Shore/LIJ Health System, the Health Sciences Center of the State University of New York at Stony Brook, the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine, the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, the American University of the Caribbean School of Medicine, and the Hofstra University School of Medicine.

In early 1997, Nassau County and New York State worked to create a new public benefit corporation that would provide a more comprehensive approach to the region’s public health planning. Governed by an independent Board of Directors, the Nassau Health Care Corporation was charged with managing the operations of Nassau University Medical Center, as well as the county-run A. Holly Patterson Extended Care facility, the infirmary at the County Jail, and the county’s neighborhood health clinics. On September 29, 1999, the newly assembled Board of Directors held their first official meeting.

More than a quarter-century later, the Nassau Health Care Corporation, now known as NuHealth, is making good on its promise. NuHealth is moving toward a new model of care that emphasizes excellent essential hospital and ambulatory services, primary care in the community, shared responsibility for wellness, a continuum of care, and integrated delivery of specialty services. And a short look at some of its recent accomplishments makes one thing clear: NuHealth isn’t just talking change. It’s taking action to bring better care and coverage to more people than ever before.

Reporting directly to the Board of Directors, the President and CEO will provide day-to-day leadership and strategic direction for NuHealth. The President and CEO is responsible for prioritizing quality and patient safety throughout the organization; ensuring that the leadership team effectively implements the organizational goals and strategies as defined by the strategic plan, driving the organization towards success; and partnering with the Board of Directors to ensure optimal governance performance.

The President and CEO will foster relationships with various stakeholders, such as the medical staff, community health partners, affiliated organizations, labor organizations, government representatives, and the media, while ensuring strong financial performance.
