What types of services will be offered in the building?

Mount Sinai South Nassau’s vision for this facility is to serve as a community center for state-of-the-art healthcare featuring an integrated network of specialty practices and highly skilled specialists. This community-focused delivery of multi-specialty healthcare will simplify residents’ access of the physicians that they need and elevate their overall health. Some of those proposed medical services include:

Cardiology
Digestive Disorders
Hematology/Oncology
Endocrinology
Radiology
Lab Services
Neurology
Pain Management
Pediatrics
Pulmonary
Surgery (non-invasive)
Urology
Women’s Health

Hours of Operation: Initially, the hours of operation for most clinical services will be between the hours of 8am and 5pm Monday-Friday. Evening hours on select days and hours on Saturdays will be phased in over time and will only be offered for select services.

Building Size and Usage: The facility will feature a patient-centered interior design, with approximately 50 comfortably furnished private patient examination and consultation rooms. This new medical office building will not include drug treatment, behavioral health services, ambulance bays or overnight hospital beds.

Parking & Traffic: Mount Sinai South Nassau has been sensitive to the needs of the local neighborhood. The site has 248 parking spots, ample parking for staff and patients, so we do not anticipate overflow parking on local streets. Efforts will be made to divert traffic off residential streets on to Sunrise Highway.
