Nassau University Medical Center (NUMC) is a public teaching hospital affiliated with the Health Sciences Center of Stony Brook University and with Northwell Health. The 19-story, 631-bed Level I Trauma Center is located at 2201 Hempstead Turnpike, East Meadow, New York, in Nassau County on Long Island.

The mission of Nassau University Medical Center is to provide comprehensive high-quality health care services to patients regardless of their ability to pay.[1] It is organized as a New York state public-benefit corporation under the name, Nassau Health Care Corporation.[2]

## Organization[edit]

The Nassau Health Care Corporation is guided by a 10-member board of directors.[3] The corporation's management team is led by Megan Ryan Esq., Interim President and Interim Chief Executive Officer.[4] In 2016, it had operating expenses of $598 million, an outstanding debt of $256 million, and a staffing level of 4,180 people.[5]

## History[edit]

Meadowbrook Hospital in 1939.

Meadowbrook Hospital opened on July 15, 1935, in East Meadow as a 200-bed county owned general hospital. In 1974, its name was changed to the Nassau County Medical Center when it opened the 19-story Dynamic Care Building. 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.[6]

## Dynamic Care Building[edit]
