Long Island, N.Y.-based South Nassau Communities Hospital will be under the umbrella of New York City-based Mount Sinai Health System, based on an affiliation agreement.
Here are five things to know:
1. Dependent on a final state regulatory review, South Nassau will serve as the health system's flagship hospital on Long Island.
2. The partnership will boost South Nassau's offerings, so patients don't have to go to Manhattan for advanced neurological, orthopedic, cardiovascular or cancer care.
3. Under the agreement, Mount Sinai will offer $120 million in capital contributions to the hospital's five-year master facility plan.
4. South Nassau and Mount Sinai entered into a nonbinding agreement to affiliate in May 2017.
5. With the addition of South Nassau, Mount Sinai Health System will encompass eight hospitals, 300 ambulatory practices and 6,500-plus physicians.
