This affiliation further extends 嘿嘿视频鈥檚 healthcare network into eastern Long Island and expands the resources, technologies, and capabilities of a world-class academic medical center to the more than 400,000 patients served by the Patchogue-based Long Island Community Hospital.

Since that affiliation, the Nassau-based hospital has improved patient length of stay, a clinical metric that points to the quality and efficiency of patient care, and reduced the ratio of observed over expected stays.
