Catholic Health’s Good Samaritan Hospital in West Islip, New York, broke ground on its $500 million Patient Care Pavilion. The 300,000-square-foot addition will be located on the northeast portion of the campus and feature a 75-bay emergency department, 16 high-tech replacement operating rooms and three floors of private patient rooms.
The project will not increase the hospital’s overall bed-count. Instead. It provides patients with more private space, larger and enhanced clinical areas and closer access within the hospital to key services. The project is scheduled to be completed in early 2025.
The Patient Care Pavilion will also include an easy-to-navigate lobby and a welcoming environment. Other amenities include an expanded café, courtyard garden, renovated gift store and an internal link to the emergency department. Vacated space from the existing building will enable the hospital to create additional private rooms in the future.
The hospital’s premier services include the St. Francis Heart Center at Good Samaritan, the Catholic Health Cancer Institute, the Stroke & Brain Aneurysm Center of Long Island and the only Verified Level II Trauma Program for adults and pediatrics on the south shore of Long Island.
The system also has modernization plans under way at Mercy Hospital in Rockville Centre and ambulatory projects in Bay Shore, Bellmore, East Setauket, Farmingdale/Melville, Lake Success, Patchogue and Queens.
