Long Island Community Hospital

The Long Island Community Hospital (LICH), formerly Brookhaven Memorial Hospital, is a community hospital in East Patchogue, New York in the Town of Brookhaven in Suffolk County. It is affiliated with the NYU Langone Health System.

History

Long Island Community Hospital opened in 1956.

In the 2010s, the hospital's Knapp Cardiac Care Center was erected. The facility, which opened in 2016, also includes a care & therapy center for veterans.

In 2018, the hospital proposed changing its name from Brookhaven Memorial Hospital to "Long Island Medical Center." However, the name was never implemented, and it ultimately would be renamed Long Island Community Hospital.

In 2022, the hospital became affiliated with NYU Langone Health, with the merger being approved by state and federal agencies in late 2021. It was announced that merger was expected to take three years to fully complete.

Controversies

The hospital has previously received backlash for poor treating and sanitation. A total of nine citations resulted from five inspections of this facility from January 1, 2020, through December 31, 2022. There were 8 inspections resulting in no citations.
