Oceanside, NY (January 24, 2018) South Nassau Communities Hospital will become the flagship hospital on Long Island for the Mount Sinai Health System under an affiliation agreement announced today by the Boards of Trustees of the two institutions. Final state regulatory review is underway and approvals are expected in the coming months.
If the affiliation is approved, South Nassau will join Mount Sinai’s $7 billion health system, which includes the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, one of the most prestigious medical schools and leading research centers in the country. The internationally renowned Mount Sinai Health System is an integrated health system encompassing seven hospitals (eight with the addition of South Nassau) in New York, 300 ambulatory practices and other community locations, and more than 6,500 physicians. Mount Sinai’s Long Island footprint includes 200 physicians and other experts at 11 multidisciplinary practices. Mount Sinai will bring its academic, clinical, and research expertise to South Nassau, extending tertiary-level hospital services that offer advanced medical care to “rival and surpass any of those available on Long Island,” according to a joint document outlining the transaction.
The Mount Sinai Hospital is ranked No. 18 nationally in the 2017-2018 “Best Hospitals” issue of U.S. News & World Report, and is ranked nationally in 10 adult medical specialties. New York Eye and Ear Infirmary of Mount Sinai is nationally ranked by U.S. News in two specialties—Ear, Nose, and Throat and Ophthalmology—while Mount Sinai Beth Israel, Mount Sinai St. Luke's, and Mount Sinai West are ranked regionally. Mount Sinai’s Kravis Children’s Hospital is ranked in six out of ten pediatric specialties by U.S. News & World Report in "Best Children's Hospitals."
