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] In the same year, the hospital closed temporarily due to a nurse's strike. [7] [8]

In 1995, Syosset Hospital became a member of North Shore Health Systems Inc (now Northwell Health). [9]

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. [10] [11] [12]
