Huntington Hospital in New York - United States

Huntington Hospital is a 408-bed nonprofit community Hospital located in Huntington, New York and the hsopital is established in 1916. Huntington Hospital has been a member of the North Shore - Long Island Jewish Health System since 1994. The hospital offers a comprehensive range of healthcare services and programs for New York community.

Huntington Hospital was founded as a result of a charitable act. In 1914, recognizing that the nine bed Winkworth Cottage Hospital on New Street could no longer meet the needs of a growing community, Cornelia Prime, daughter of a prominent New York banking family, donated a house located on five acres of land on Park Avenue. The original hospital still stands today, adjacent to the main structure. Construction commenced under the direction of a community board of trustees and on May 1, 1916, Huntington Hospital formally opened to receive its first patients. With 18 adult and 4 children's beds plus 6 bassinets, and 16 attending physicians, the new hospital admitted 334 patients in its first year.

With the opening of the Surgical Services Pavilion in December 2004, another important fund raising capital campaign came to fruition. At this time, the hospital more than doubled in square footage its surgical facility. Ten new operating rooms were equipped with the latest surgical technologies including robotic arms, flat screen monitors, harmonic scalpels, specialized lasers, and Xenon lighting. In addition to providing patients with state-of-the-art services available close to home, the Surgical Services Pavilion also allowed for a streamlining of services. All pre-admission testing needs were now able to be handled within this one convenient location.

Today Huntington Hospital has 408 inpatient beds, although due to the shift in outpatient and ambulatory services, beds, bricks or mortar no longer define hospitals. A creditable history of nearly a century of growth, meeting needs, keeping abreast of the latest medical technology accomplished by visionary leadership, with community involvement, voluntarism and charitable donations, has set the stage for the hospital to address the challenges that lie ahead in this 21st century.
