NEW YORK, May 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- NYU Langone Health and South Shore Neurologic Associates today join forces, enhancing access to high-quality specialized care in Suffolk County with three NYU Langone South Shore Neurologic Associates locations in Patchogue, Riverhead, and Islip.

NYU Langone South Shore Neurologic Associates offer a wide range of neurology care across three sites in Patchogue, Riverhead, and Islip, and complements clinical services at multispecialty care centers nearby in Suffolk County.

"As the premier provider for neurologic care on Long Island, South Shore Neurologic Associates today joins the No. 1 ranked health system in New York State and the No. 1 ranked neurology and neurosurgery program in the nation," said Andrew Rubin, senior vice president for clinical affairs and ambulatory care at NYU Langone. "With a shared commitment to high-quality care, together we will better meet the needs of our diverse patient population."

NYU Langone South Shore Neurologic Associates grows NYU Langone's footprint on Long Island, with more than 100 practices, and complements clinical services at outpatient care centers in Patchogue and Riverhead. A single electronic health record system, the NYU Langone Health app, and NYU Langone Health MyChart connect the entire health system, so patients can find all of their health information in one place.
