History
Syosset Hospital was founded in 1962.[4] It was designed by East Meadow-based architect Siegmund Spiegel and built at a cost of $4.5 million (1962 USD).[4][5][6]
In 1980, the hospital went from being a proprietary medical institution to a non-profit hospital, being take over by the Baptist Medical Center of New York.[7][8] In the same year, the hospital closed temporarily due to a nurse's strike.[7][8]
In 1995, Syosset Hospital became a member of North Shore Health Systems Inc (now Northwell Health).[9]
During the COVID-19 pandemic, nurses at the hospital protested Northwell's decision to extend the temporary closure of the hospital's psychiatric unit; Northwell temporarily closed it in order to house additional patients during the pandemic.[10][11][12]
