Located in Mineola, NY | Specialized Care in Cardiology & Neurology
There’s something reassuring about walking into a hospital where people know your name. Where the doctor remembers that your son just started kindergarten. Where the nurse notices you’re nervous and takes an extra moment to explain things clearly.
That’s the kind of care we’ve been providing for decades, right here in Mineola.
NYU Langone Hospital—Long Island sits at the heart of Nassau County—not just geographically, but in the lives of the families we serve. We’re large enough to offer some of the most advanced medical treatments in the country. But we’ve never lost sight of what matters most: treating every patient like a person, not a room number.
What Guides Us
Our vision is simple: bring together the most advanced medicine possible with genuine, compassionate care. No compromise on either.
Our mission goes beyond treating illness. We believe world-class healthcare should be accessible to everyone who needs it. So we work hard to offer care that’s both excellent and affordable, with financial help available for those who need it.
Our values aren’t words on a wall. They’re how we show up, every day:
- Integrity means we’re honest with you—about your diagnosis, your options, and your outcomes
- Empathy means we listen first, then act
- Excellence isn’t a goal we reach; it’s a standard we maintain, constantly
- Collaboration means your cardiologist, surgeon, and physical therapist actually talk to each other
- Innovation means we’re always learning, always improving
A Place Designed for Healing
Walk through our doors, and you’ll notice something. The building works for you, not against you.
Our ICUs are equipped with monitoring technology that gives our teams real-time information, so they can respond the moment something changes. Our operating rooms are designed to minimize infection risk and maximize surgical precision—including robotic systems that help surgeons perform complex procedures through tiny incisions.
When you need answers fast, our diagnostic technology delivers. High-resolution MRI, CT imaging, and fully automated labs mean less waiting, more certainty.
And when you need us in the middle of the night—whether it’s a fever that spiked unexpectedly or an injury that couldn’t wait—our emergency department, pharmacy, and ambulance services are fully staffed, 24 hours a day.
Care That Covers Every Part of You
Primary care is where most health journeys begin. It’s where we get to know you, track the small things before they become big things, and help you stay well.
For your heart, our cardiology team manages everything from high blood pressure to complex valve repairs and bypass surgery. We’re known throughout New York for outcomes that rival the nation’s top cardiac centers.
For your brain and nervous system, our neurologists and neurosurgeons treat strokes, seizures, brain tumors, and movement disorders. When every minute counts—as with stroke—our coordinated response teams are ready.
For your bones and joints, we specialize in minimally invasive procedures that mean less pain and faster recovery. Whether it’s a torn ACL from weekend soccer or arthritis that’s finally had its say.
For women, at every stage of life—from adolescence through pregnancy to menopause and beyond—we provide care that respects both your body and your choices.
For children, we offer dedicated pediatric units and a Level III NICU. Because when your little one needs specialized care, you shouldn’t have to travel far from home.
For cancer care, our oncologists, surgeons, and radiation specialists work as one team. Treatment is coordinated, not fragmented.
We also provide expert care in ENT, ophthalmology, dental medicine, dermatology, and gastroenterology—so most of what you need is right here.
The People Behind the Medicine
What makes a hospital exceptional isn’t the building. It’s the people inside.
Our physicians have trained at some of the finest institutions in the United States and around the world. Many are leaders in their fields—researchers, educators, innovators. But when they’re with you, their focus is entirely on you.
Our nurses? They’re the heart of this hospital. They notice when you’re anxious. They answer the same question for the fifth time without making you feel like it’s the fifth time. They advocate for you when you can’t advocate for yourself.
And then there are the people you might not think about—the transporters who keep things moving, the cleaning staff who maintain a sterile environment, the cafeteria workers who make sure you have a hot meal. Every single one of them matters.
Technology That Serves, Not Impresses
We don’t adopt new technology because it’s flashy. We adopt it because it helps us take better care of you.
Robotic surgery allows our surgeons to operate with greater precision through smaller incisions. That often means less pain, lower infection risk, and faster recovery.
AI-assisted imaging helps our radiologists detect subtle findings that might otherwise be missed. Not replacing human expertise—enhancing it.
Telemedicine lets you see your doctor from your living room. No traffic, no waiting room, no taking time off work for a 15-minute follow-up.
Electronic health records mean your entire care team has access to your complete medical history, instantly and securely. No repeating your story to five different people.
More Than Medicine
Healing doesn’t stop with procedures and prescriptions.
That’s why we offer preventive health packages tailored to your age, gender, and risk factors. Not generic checkups—thoughtful screenings designed to catch problems early or prevent them entirely.
It’s why we sit down with you and explain your bill before you owe anything. Why our financial counselors help you navigate insurance and connect you with assistance programs. Healthcare is stressful enough without surprise bills.
And it’s why we listen when patients tell us how we can do better. Your feedback isn’t just collected—it’s acted on.
Recognized for What Matters
We’re accredited by The Joint Commission—a designation that reflects rigorous, independent evaluation of our patient safety and quality standards. It’s not easy to earn, and we work hard to maintain it.
We’ve also received numerous awards for clinical excellence and community service. But the recognition we value most comes from the families who trust us with their care.
Care That Doesn’t Require a Wallet First
Financial concerns should never delay medical care.
We work with all major insurance providers and HMOs, offering cashless treatment options for covered services. If you’re uninsured or underinsured, our financial counselors can help you understand your options and apply for assistance.
We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and most commercial plans. If you’re unsure whether your insurance is accepted, just call—we’ll check for you.
Beyond Our Walls
Our responsibility to this community doesn’t end at our property line.
We run free health screening camps in neighborhoods where access to preventive care is limited. We partner with local organizations to provide vaccinations, health education, and chronic disease management support. We show up at community centers, places of worship, and schools—wherever people need us.
Because health isn’t just personal. It’s collective.
Training the Next Generation, Advancing the Field
As an academic medical center, we’re committed to pushing medicine forward.
We train young physicians, nurses, and allied health professionals who will go on to care for communities of their own. We offer continuing education for practicing clinicians, ensuring the care you receive reflects the latest evidence.
And through clinical trials, some of our patients gain access to treatments that aren’t yet widely available. Not experimental therapies—carefully studied interventions that offer new hope when standard options have been exhausted.
Caring for the Planet, Too
A healthier community requires a healthier environment.
We’ve installed solar panels to reduce our carbon footprint. Our medical waste management protocols protect both patients and ecosystems. Water conservation initiatives help ensure this region remains vibrant for generations to come.
These efforts don’t make headlines. But they reflect our belief that healthcare institutions should heal more than individual bodies.

A Final Thought
Hospitals, at their best, are places where science and humanity meet.

Whether you need a routine physical, management of a chronic condition, or treatment for a complex illness, you’ll find that same commitment here.
Thank you for considering us for your care. We’d be honored to earn your trust.
