NYU Langone Hospital — Suffolk is a community hospital in East Patchogue, New York in Suffolk County. It is a member of NYU Langone Health.

History

The hospital opened in 1956 as Brookhaven Memorial Hospital. Hospital Road was built for the hospital to Barton Avenue via an unsigned segment of the historic Fish Thicket Road. An interchange with the newly constructed Sunrise Highway Extension provided easy access to the hospital in 1957. Hospital Road was extended to Woodside Avenue in the 1970's.

In the 2010s, the hospital's Knapp Cardiac Care Center was erected. The facility, which opened in 2016, also includes a care & therapy center for veterans.

In 2018, the hospital proposed changing its name from Brookhaven Memorial Hospital to "Long Island Medical Center." However, the name was never implemented, and it ultimately would be renamed Long Island Community Hospital.

In 2022, the hospital became affiliated with NYU Langone Health, with the merger being approved by state and federal agencies in late 2021. It was announced that the merger was expected to take three years to be fully completed.

On March 3, 2025, it was announced that the hospital had fully merged with NYU Langone Health and would be renamed from Long Island Community Hospital to NYU Langone Hospital – Suffolk.

Controversies

The hospital has previously received backlash for poor treating and sanitation. Five inspections of the facility from January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2022 resulted in a total of nine citations. There were 8 inspections resulting in no citations.
