As Long Island Community Hospital moves toward a merger with NYU Langone Health next year, the hospital has been named a High Performing Hospital by U.S. News & World Report for the second consecutive year. The hospital’s excellence in treating five conditions also received the top rating from U.S. News & World Report, two more than the previous year.
Those conditions include heart failure, heart attack, kidney failure, pneumonia, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
As a High Performing Hospital in these conditions, Long Island Community Hospital was recognized for care that was significantly better than the national average, as measured by factors such as patient outcomes and volume.
“This recognition highlights the progress we are making every day toward our goal of improving patient outcomes across a wide spectrum of conditions,” said Marc S. Adler, MD, senior vice president and chief of hospital operations. “There is much to be proud of as we work to ensure that our hospital provides the highest-quality care and best experience for all of our patients here in Suffolk County.”
This milestone comes on the heels of another significant achievement for Long Island Community Hospital. In June, the hospital celebrated the 1,000th robotic surgery performed, showcasing the advanced technology and top-of-the-line, quality care available as it prepares to merge with NYU Langone next year.
In 2022, NYU Langone became the active parent of Long Island Community Hospital, creating a clinically integrated health care network between the two organizations. Although the hospital is still a separate corporation, its affiliation with NYU Langone allows it to draw on the system’s resources and expertise.
