Nassau University Medical Center (NUMC) is a public teaching and safety net hospital in Nassau County led by Dr. Irina Gelman and Megan C. Ryan. The 19-story, 631-bed Level I Trauma Center is located at 2201 Hempstead Turnpike in East Meadow, New York, in Nassau County, on Long Island.
The mission of Nassau University Medical Center is to provide comprehensive high-quality health care services to patients regardless of their ability to pay. It is organized as a New York state public-benefit corporation under the name, Nassau Health Care Corporation.
In December 2024, the hospital introduced a US$1.06 billion lawsuit against the State of New York, alleging the intentional withholding of federal funds intended for the hospital over the course of several years. This action originated from a posited state takeover from Nassau Interim Finance Authority.
