Introduction
Nassau Health Care Corporation (“NHCC”), also known as the NuHealth System, is a New York
State public benefit corporation created by the New York State Public Authorities Law. NHCC
operates Nassau University Medical Center, a 530-bed tertiary care teaching hospital (“NUMC”)
and the A. Holly Patterson Extended Care Facility (“AHP”), a 589-bed skilled nursing facility.
Additionally, NHCC co-operates various Community Health Practices in partnership with Long
Island FQHC, Inc., a non-profit, consumer-driven organization created to help address the health
needs of the region’s most vulnerable populations. NHCC maintains a strong commitment to the
education of healthcare providers. NUMC has been the primary source of medical care for millions
of Nassau County residents since 1935. With its 19-story main tower, NUMC is Nassau County's
tallest building and a familiar Long Island landmark. As the region's premier Level I trauma center,
NUMC treats many of the County's most critically injured patients and has long carried the
responsibility of being the region’s “safety net” hospital. Additionally, NUMC maintains a strong
commitment to medical education. NHCC is academically affiliated with the New York College of
Osteopathic Medicine, the New York College of Podiatric Medicine, the American University of
the Caribbean School of Medicine and Hofstra University School of Medicine. AHP is recognized
nationally as a model for skilled nursing facilities. AHP offers innovative care in an environment
that treats the 'whole' person. The skilled and caring medical staff responds to the physical, social
and emotional needs of each resident. NHCC’s Community Health Practices are bringing a new
kind of care to the communities that need it most. It is the goal of NHCC to see that every Long
Islander has a “medical home” - a place where people you know provide the kind of primary and
preventative care that safeguards the health of you and your family.
