We’re known for our rich heritage, founded in faith, serving the health care needs of our community for more than one hundred years. We’re known for delivering a quality patient experience that stands apart from other health care systems. We see patients and their families as human beings, with needs that go beyond the prescriptions and procedures. We listen and partner. At Catholic Health, we’re committed to creating an exceptional experience of comprehensive care by pairing our phenomenal clinical abilities with the emotional support of the home. It’s through this blend of comfort and confidence that we have an innate understanding of our community and deliver peace of mind to those we serve. This philosophy is backed by doctors, nurses, and medical professionals who are among the best in the country, for cardiology, oncology, orthopedic surgery, neuroscience, women’s health, pediatrics, and senior care. Catholic Health is a leader in complex care, from minimally invasive solutions to robotic surgery and the pinpoint accuracy of non-invasive stereotactic radiation therapy as well as ambulatory procedures that pre-empt the need for hospitalization. Beyond our hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation centers, Catholic Health members many hundreds of physician practices across Long Island and regional nursing service, helping you to stay on your personal path to optimal wellness.
