NEW YORK, Oct. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its mission to enhance access to quality healthcare where people live and work, NYU Langone Health continues to grow its outpatient network in Suffolk County on Long Island with new locations and specialty services.

"Our new locations ensure patients have convenient access to care as we continue to grow our services throughout Suffolk County, including on the East End," says Andrew Rubin, senior vice president for clinical affairs and ambulatory care at NYU Langone. "Building on this momentum, we're also recruiting more primary and specialty care providers to add to our sites so we can care for even more patients in the community."

New Locations for Wellness and Preventive Care

NYU Langone recently welcomed five locations from MyHealth Long Island, offering wellness services and preventive care. The providers at specialize in primary care, family medicine, rheumatology, and colorectal surgery.

"Our transition to NYU Langone has been great for both providers and patients," says Keriake Semertzides, DO, clinical assistant professor of medicine at NYU Long Island School of Medicine. "The information available in Epic, NYU Langone's electronic health record, provides a more complete picture of who my patients are and their needs, and has also enhanced health screening management, which enables physicians to provide the highest-quality care."
