Syosset Hospital (also known as Syosset Community Hospital and North Shore University Hospital at Syosset) is a short term community hospital located in Syosset, New York. The hospital has 136 beds and is affiliated with the Donald and Barbara Zucker School of Medicine at Hofstra/Northwell.[1] The hospital is a member of Northwell Health.[2]
Syosset Hospital was founded in 1962.[3] It was designed by East Meadow-based architect Siegmund Spiegel and built at a cost of $4.5 million (1962 USD).[3][4][5]
In 1980, the hospital went from being a proprietary medical institution to a non-profit hospital, being take over by the Baptist Medical Center of New York.[6][7] A major nurse's strike also occurred around that time that year, which temporarily closed the hospital.[6][7]
In 1989, Syosset Hospital banned smoking at the hospital.[8]
In 1995, Syosset Hospital became a member of the North Shore LIJ Health System (now Northwell Health).[9]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses at the hospital protested Northwell's decision to extend the temporary closure of the hospital's psychiatric unit; Northwell temporarily closed it in order to house additional patients during the pandemic.[10][11][12]
