Congratulations to Good Samaritan University Hospital (GSUH) and Catholic Health of Long Island for their absolutely incredible, brand new, $500 million dollar, state of the art Patient Care Pavilion - including a new level 1 emergency room and level 2 pediatric emergency room - opening TODAY!

This is the biggest investment  catholichealthli has made into one of their facilities and I’m amazed at this building!

I loved learning about Good Sam’s dedication to promoting Long Islander’s healing and peace of mind for body & spirit. In fact, they’ve incorporated many local touches to mirror the community feeling and beauty of the area while expanding access to advanced compassionate care for local families.

Why is the goodsamli Patient Care Pavilion grand opening so exciting? Well, besides design and construction happening in a post pandemic world incorporating what we learned from Covid, it’s a fully forward thinking space. Plus, it’s the only dedicated pediatric trauma and specialty emergency department on the south shore.

The dedicated pediatric trauma and emergency pod is purpose-built for children and families with calm kid-friendly family-centered spaces (read: art projects and video games), sensory designed rooms, on-site pediatric specialists, and a supportive environment. Plus complimentary refreshments and parking!

GSUH is not only a diagnostic imaging center of excellence, but also has the 1st siemens_usa photon counting CT in Suffolk County.

I was so impressed with their infectious disease sensitivity, touchdown stations, person of size rooms, ability to shut down individual floor pods with the touch of a button, the thoughtful location of their OR right above their ER waiting room, and my absolute favorite - blinds within the glass instead of outside of it reducing dust and germs (genius!). Not to mention their 8 ambulance entrances, 10 trauma bays, 3 CT machines, and more.

Good Samaritan University Hospital (GSUH) is located at 1000 Montauk Highway in West Islip, NY 11795.
