History

Syosset Hospital was founded in 1962. [4] It was designed by East Meadow-based architect Siegmund Spiegel and built at a cost of $4.5 million (1962 USD). [4] [5] [6]

In 1980, the hospital went from being a proprietary medical institution to a non-profit hospital, being take over by the Baptist Medical Center of New York. [7] [8] A major nurse's strike also occurred around that time that year, which temporarily closed the hospital. [7] [8]

In 1989, Syosset Hospital banned smoking at the hospital. [9]

In 1995, Syosset Hospital became a member of North Shore Health Systems Inc (now Northwell Health). [10]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses at the hospital protested Northwell's decision to extend the temporary closure of the hospital's psychiatric unit; Northwell temporarily closed it in order to house additional patients during the pandemic. [11] [12] [13]
