Its only been thirty five years since the Emergency Room at Nassau University Medical Center has been upgraded. Beds are shoved together, inmates are often right next to nursing home patients and visitors are forced to enter a "corn maze" of halls and corridors before finding their loved ones. You think its time for an upgrade in the emergency room? The only level one hospital in Nassau County designated to take care of the President of The United States is Nassau University Medical Center. You think its time for an upgrade in the emergency room? One of the most dangerous roads in Long Island is in front of Nassau University Medical Center. You think its time for an upgrade in the emergency room? Hofstra University, The Nassau Coliseum and some of the biggest office buildings are all within a mile away. You think its time for an upgrade in the emergency room? Nassau County residents continue to pay some of the highest property taxes on Long Island. You think its time for an upgrade in the emergency room? After the 25 million dollar renovation the emergency room will have state of the art patient rooms, diagnostic equipment,and a new entrance on Hempstead Turnpike for easier access for patients. So here is my question. What took so long? I don't have a really good answer but it does seem like major projects (lighthouse)which in my opinion, would do the county and all of Long Island good, seem to get "stuck" between the original thought and the shovel hitting the dirt. Well, Nassau County, congratulations on the new emergency room-it only took 35 years.
