NYU Langone Health has opened NYU Langone Ambulatory Care Patchogue (N.Y.), a 54,000-square-foot facility that it states will broaden access to specialty and surgical care for patients across Suffolk County.
Located on the site of a former Burlington Coat Factory building in the Long Island village’s downtown, the facility will include 25 first-floor exam rooms that will be used by specialists in gastroenterology, urology (including urogynecology), gynecology, and specialized colorectal services. A six-OR ASC on the building’s second floor will host orthopedic, colorectal, gynecologic, pain management, plastics and urologic procedures, and includes 22 recovery bays.
“The ambulatory care center extends many of the surgical services of nearby NYU Langone Hospital—Suffolk further into the community,” states the health system. “By combining surgical services with multispecialty physician practices in one location, the center supports a coordinated and efficient care experience for patients and referring providers.”
“Our goal was to create an environment that supports an exceptional experience for patients and their families,” stated Vicki Match Suna, AIA, executive vice president and vice dean for Real Estate Development and Facilities at NYU Langone. “Through a thoughtful, patient-centered and contextual design approach, complemented by collaboration with local artists, we transformed a long-standing Patchogue icon into a welcoming healthcare facility that contributes to the continued vitality of the village.”
It’s another NYU Langone investment in the Long Island market, following last month’s announcement of plans to build an academic medical center in Melville, N.Y., and an ASC due to open in Manhasset, N.Y., later this year.
