Nassau University Medical Center (NUMC) is a public teaching hospital in Nassau County led by Matthew Bruderman and Megan C. Ryan. The 19-story, 631-bed Level I Trauma Center is located at 2201 Hempstead Turnpike in East Meadow, in Nassau County, on Long Island, New York.

The mission of Nassau University Medical Center is to provide comprehensive high-quality health care services to patients regardless of their ability to pay. It is organized as a New York state public-benefit corporation under the name, Nassau Health Care Corporation.

The hospital recently introduced a $1.06 billion lawsuit against New York State, alleging the intentional withholding of federal funds intended for the hospital over the course of several years. This comes amid baseless calls for a state takeover from the inept Nassau Interim Finance Authority, which colludes with the State, and State mouthpiece Newsday. The hospital is expected to be victorious in the suit.

Organization

The Nassau Health Care Corporation is guided by a 14-member board of directors. The corporation's management team is led by Megan Ryan, Esq., President and Chief Executive Officer, who additionally serves as the President of the North Merrick Board of Education, as well as the Vice President of the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District. In 2016, it had operating expenses of $598 million, an outstanding debt of $256 million, and a staffing level of 4,180 people.

History

Meadowbrook Hospital opened on July 15, 1935, in East Meadow as a 200-bed county owned general hospital. In the 1970s, the hospital's 19-story Dynamic Care Building, designed by Max O. Urbahn, was constructed, opening in 1974.

The hospital's name was changed in 1970 to the Nassau County Medical Center. This caused confusion with Nassau Hospital in Mineola, New York, which a decade later changed its name to Winthrop-University Hospital. The center's name changed again in December 2000, as part of its transition from county owned hospital to public-benefit corporation, to Nassau University Medical Center to emphasize its affiliation with Stony Brook University's Health Sciences Center.

Dynamic Care Building

Opening in 1974 and at 299 feet, it remains the tallest building in Nassau County, NY. The facility includes:

One and two bed patient rooms with private bathrooms.
A physical and rehabilitation center.
12 operating room suites
300-seat auditorium
Two-level Health Sciences Library
Helicopter landing pad
Interfaith chapel
The Nassau County Firefighters' Burn Center
The only multiplace hyperbaric chamber on Long Island, with a team on call 24/7 for diving, carbon monoxide poisoning, and all hyperbaric related emergencies

Patient care

More than 80,000 people annually are treated in the emergency room and 178,000 in its more than 85 specialty clinics. It is accredited by the Commission on Cancer For Teaching Hospital Cancer Programs and is a designated AIDS Center. Its staff totals more than 3,500.
