Long Island Jewish Valley Stream (N.Y.) hospital held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new orthopedic unit on the hospital’s second floor Feb. 1, according to the Long Island Herald.
The key details to know:
1. Physicians at the 10,000-square-foot facility will offer joint replacement and minimally invasive surgery.
2. Orthopedic surgery volume growth created the need for a new space. In 2018, New Hyde Park, N.Y.-based Northwell Health surgeons performed 16,000 outpatient and 15,000 inpatient procedures. Northwell Health is Long Island Jewish Valley Stream's healthcare network.
3. The orthopedic unit includes 18 single-occupancy rooms with accessible amenities and private bathrooms.
4. The unit will open when the hospital receives its certificate of occupancy.
