Our Commitment to Care

How’s your stay? Are you getting the care you need? Are your doctors and nurses listening and responding to your questions or requests? Our goal is to provide the best quality care. To do so, we ask for feedback from patients like you.

During Your Stay

Please speak with your nurse or nursing supervisor if you have any questions or concerns
about your care. If your issue is still not resolved, then contact: 



• Quality Management: (631) 351-2237
• Nursing Administration: (631) 351-2310
• Hospital Administration: (631) 351-2200

After Your Stay

Once you leave our care, we will continue to seek your feedback through the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey. The HCAHPS survey is a tool to measure and report patient satisfaction. It’s made up of simple questions on key care topics such as:

•  doctor and nurse communication
•  medicine and discharge information
•  staff responsiveness
•  overall quality of the hospital environment

If you’re selected to receive this brief survey, please take the time to complete it. The results will help us know what we’re doing right and where we can improve.

Sometimes a health care choice can involve an ethical concern—such as a wish to refuse life-saving treatment or a disagreement over advance directives. Our Ethics Committee can help your team of support people make difficult decisions. For help, call (631) 351-2310.
