History

The hospital was founded as Franklin Hospital in 1963, which upon opening had 146 beds. [2] [3] [4] It eventually merged with Long Island Jewish Hospital (part of Northwell Health), becoming Long Island Jewish Valley Stream Hospital. [1] [5]

In 1975, the hospital planned on construction $3 million (1975 USD) expansion project, which sparked significant community opposition. [4] Citing the local pushback, the Town of Hempstead blocked the hospital's plans. [4] New plans would eventually be made, and were ultimately approved. [3]

In 1989, the hospital's name changed from Franklin General Hospital to Franklin Hospital Medical Center, after the facility underwent a major expansion – including the creation of a skilled nursing center. [3]

In December 1991, Franklin Hospital Medical Center signed an agreement to become affiliated with New York University Hospital. [2]

In 2019, Northwell Health opened The Orthopedic Hospital at Long Island Jewish Valley Stream – a 9,761-square-foot (906.8 m2) facility with 18 patient rooms, located on the second floor of the hospital. [6] The late 2010s also saw the addition of a new emergency department at the hospital. [7]

In early 2024, citing the need for improved pay, pensions, and working conditions, nurses at Long Island Jewish Valley Stream proposed going on strike, as Northwell Health had neglected to address these concerns when brought to their attention. [8] [9] [10] [11] In late February, Northwell Health and the union representing its nurses reached a deal, and the strike was ultimately averted. [11] [12]
