The $50 million expansion aims to cut wait times and enhance the patient experience at one of Long Island’s busiest hospitals, according to a news release. The Fennessy Family Emergency Department features 54 private exam rooms, centralized nursing stations, separate spaces for pediatric and behavioral health patients, and a three-bay trauma unit that can expand to six care bays, if necessary. 

The ED is part of the four-story Feil Family Pavilion, currently under construction on the South Nassau campus. When complete, the facility will include 40 new intensive and critical care beds and nine new operating suites.
