South Shore University Hospital Information

For more than a century, South Shore University Hospital (formerly Southside Hospital), has been dedicated to bringing exceptional care closer to home. That’s why over the past few years, we have expanded several key services, including centers of excellence in cardiology, orthopedics, neuroscience, and women's health. We’re proud to be the first hospital on Long Island to be recognized for achievement in heart attack care by the American Heart Association with the Mission: Lifeline Gold Award, and ranked one of the 50 best hospitals in the U.S. for heart surgery by Healthgrades. Our hospital offers a full range of health care services that are tailored to the needs of families and individuals throughout the area. We're here to serve a diverse population with innovative and effective programs that promote health in fundamental ways—from programs that fight childhood obesity and substance abuse to community health fairs, screenings, and injury prevention for seniors.
