NYU Langone Hospital — Long Island also has a Research Institute that conducts robust research and studies that are helping to shape the future of medicine. The hospital, with ties to New York University, blends the progressive philosophy and advances of a teaching and research institution with a personal approach to patient care that is the cornerstone of the organization.

The NYU Langone Hospital — Long Island campus is also home to the new NYU Long Island School of Medicine—a tuition-free school with an accelerated three-year curriculum devoted exclusively to training primary care physicians. It agreed to merge into the NYU Langone Health System in 2016.

History
The hospital was founded in 1896 as Long Island's first hospital. It was originally named Nassau Hospital, but the name was changed to Winthrop-University Hospital in 1985 due to confusion with Nassau County Medical Center. The name was chosen to honor the Winthrop family, including Robert Winthrop, an investment banker and former president of the hospital who was a descendant of John Winthrop, and his uncle and wife.

In 2019, a merger joined the hospital into the NYU Langone Health System and changed the name to NYU Winthrop Hospital. In November 2020, it was announced that the hospital changed its name to NYU Langone Hospital - Long Island.
