Our Vision:

There's been a lot of talk about what's wrong with health care in America. At NuHealth, we want to be part of what's right. No matter what emerges from the national debate, NuHealth is committed to delivering higher quality and more accessible, affordable and patient-friendly health care here on Long Island.

To reach that day, we are making numerous improvements and operational changes throughout our system that we believe will result in better overall health for our community. In the end, however, it is dedication to these core commitments that will determine our success:

We will provide consistently sound and compassionate care to every person who enters our doors...the kind of care we would want for ourselves and our loved ones.

We will emphasize preventative care and disease management, helping patients learn how to keep themselves and their families healthy.

We will ensure that patients have their own doctors in the community, and if they don't, we will help them establish a "medical home" at our hospital or Family Health Centers.

We will help uninsured patients find coverage they can afford, and work to ensure that no person fails to seek medical help because they fear the cost.

We will treat each person patients, families, and each other with respect and dignity, and do our best to listen carefully and communicate clearly.

We will focus on delivering excellent essential medical care of the type most in demand, while expanding relationships with outside experts to ensure every patient has access to necessary specialized medicine.
We will be good stewards of the funds that help sustain our operations, and do our best to balance the diverse needs of our stakeholders.

Above all, NuHealth intends to be a national model of what a state-of-the-art public hospital and community health care system should be. We will set standards in teaching and research, and become a respected and sought-out authority in public health care education. We are working hard to be a model of accessibility and cultural sensitivity. But our highest priority is right here at home: to earn the public trust as a leader in patient care by meeting and exceeding the highest public standards.
