Mount Sinai South Nassau

South Nassau Communities Hospital President and Chief Executive Officer Richard J. Murphy was presented The Society of the Friendly Sons of St. Patrick On Long Island 2016 'Favorite Son' Award during the society's 32nd Emerald Ball and Banquet.

The Long Island Business News (LIBN) recently awarded its “Health Care Heroes” Nurse Hero Award to Irene Ficaro, an endoscopy nurse at South Nassau Communities Hospital.

Many refer to Mr. Schaefer as a visionary. Since being named chief financial officer of Better Home Health Care Agency, the company has received the New York State Association of Health Care Providers “Heroes in the Home” award.

Bruce C. Vladeck, Ph.D., former President of the United Hospital Fund, found that there is a “significant shortage of physicians, ancillary services and specialty geriatric and behavioral health services” on the barrier island.

The four-story addition in Oceanside also would increase the number of treatment spaces in the Emergency Department with expanded and improved waiting areas and separate treatment areas for pediatric, geriatric and behavioral patients.

South Nassau is one of 1,043 hospitals in the U.S. to earn the distinction of Top Performer on Key Quality Measures.

HANYS is the statewide advocate for more than 550 non-profit and public hospitals, nursing homes, home care agencies, and other health care organizations in New York.

The telephone survey also found that nearly two-thirds of barrier island residents have a positive view of South Nassau Communities Hospital, which has served the Long Beach community for decades.

The campaign is a five-year, $10 million fundraising initiative to help support a $60 million renovation and expansion of the hospital's Emergency Department, serving all residents of the South Shore from Queens to Suffolk.

For the 10th consecutive year, South Nassau Communities Hospital Home Care has earned a spot in the prestigious HomeCare Elite™ listing.
