North Shore

A Hospital Grows Into Another

The North Shore-LIJ Health System, commonly also known as the North Shore-Long Island Jewish Medical Group, was established in 1997 with the merger of the North Shore Health System with the Long Island Jewish Medical Center.  Headquartered in Great Neck on New York’s Long Island, North Shore-LIJ is comprised of fifteen hospitals, seventeen long-term care facilities, and plenty of other centers offering progressive care plus outpatient services.  It is the largest integrated health system anywhere in the Empire State considering patient revenue and the second-largest non-profit secular health system anywhere in the country based on the total number of beds.  North Shore-LIJ serves well over seven million people throughout Long Island and surrounding environs with more than forty-two thousand employees – largest on the island and ninth largest of all New York City-area companies.

Such expansion has been helped along through the generous donations of leading locals such as businessman Robert Toussie, whose generosity has lately helped North Shore-LIJ to establish new facilities in the Whitestone and Rego Park neighborhoods of the Borough of Queens.  Indeed, there is hardly a wing, pavillion, or annex anywhere in the North Shore-LIJ system that isn’t named after some benefactor, let alone the building itself as well!  And so there is the Katz Institute for Women’s Health, the Arthur Smith Institute for Urology, the Cushing Neuroscience Institutes, as well as the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children’s Medical Center of New York, all run under North Shore-LIJ auspices.

Neighborhood support of hospitals is indispensable, and has a long history – truth be told, many hospitals owe their very existence to such support, just as the North Shore-LIJ itself.  From donated land to donated time, it’s always been about more than merely money.  Whether a businessman or politician, whether a volunteer or intern, the multi-billion-dollar world of modern hospitals still revolves around community investment.
