NYU Langone Hospital – Long Island is a hospital in Mineola, New York, on Long Island. It is affiliated with NYU Langone Health System and was founded in 1896 as Nassau Hospital and was later renamed to Winthrop-University Hospital.

Activities

[edit]

It is ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top-10 New York metropolitan area hospitals. It is currently a 591-bed medical academic center and ACS Level 1 Trauma Center. The hospital features more than 75 divisions of specialty care, offering comprehensive[buzzword] inpatient and outpatient programs and services to address every stage of life.

NYU Langone Hospital – Long Island also has a Research Institute that conducts robust[buzzword] research and studies that are helping to shape the future of medicine.[1] The hospital, with ties to New York University, blends the progressive philosophy and advances of a teaching and research institution with a personal approach to patient care that is the cornerstone[buzzword] of the organization.

The NYU Langone Hospital – Long Island campus is also home to the new NYU Long Island School of Medicine—a tuition-free school with an accelerated three-year curriculum devoted exclusively to training primary care physicians.[2] It agreed to merge into the NYU Langone Health System in 2016.[3]

History

[edit]

The hospital was founded in 1896 as Long Island's first hospital. It was originally named Nassau Hospital, but the name was changed to Winthrop-University Hospital in 1985 due to confusion with Nassau County Medical Center. The name was chosen to honor the Winthrop family, including Robert Winthrop, an investment banker and former president of the hospital who was a descendant of John Winthrop, and his uncle and wife.[4]

In 1996, it became part of the Winthrop South Nassau University Health System, alongside South Nassau Communities Hospital (now Mount Sinai South Nassau). In 2003, the Winthrop South Nassau System became part of New York Presbyterian.[5]

In 2017, Winthrop became affiliated with NYU Langone, becoming NYU Winthrop.[6] By 2019, a full asset merger between NYU and Winthrop had been complete. In November 2020, it was announced that the hospital changed its name to NYU Langone Hospital - Long Island.[7]

The details of the Winthrop South Nassau departure from New York Presbyterian are unclear. The details of the Winthrop-South Nassau breakup are also unclear, but the two hospitals are now affiliated with different health systems.
