We’re investing in our future: Renovations to the ED of Long Island Jewish Valley Stream are underway!

At Northwell Health, we understand that in order to live up to our core value of being Truly Innovative, we need to be constantly investing in our people and our facilities. That’s why we’re excited to announce that we’re renovating one of the busiest emergency departments on Long Island: The ED of Long Island Jewish Valley Stream.

“The LIJ Valley Stream Emergency Department is going through a long awaited ED renovation. The ED is being designed, not only to accommodate the current volume of patients, but to do so in the most efficient manner possible.” — John D’Angelo, Executive Director & Senior Vice President, Emergency Medicine Service Line

This renovation is more than just your average face-lift. The new ED expands the care that we’re Made for- going from serving 42,000 annual patients to 55,000.

These updates include 27 beds, two isolation rooms, a decontamination room that limits patient and staff exposure to environmental or other dangerous contaminants and a dedicated computed tomography scanner, part of a state-of-the-art imaging area.

The renovation is an investment in not only patient experience, but in the way doctors and nurses perform medicine. The new ED will use a “split-flow” model. Staff will triage and assess patients based on the severity of their conditions and assign them to the appropriate treatment level. Split-flow is the future of emergency care as it eliminates redundancy and waste wherever possible and has already proven effective in other Northwell Emergency Departments including our new facility at Southside Hospital.

“The vision of our leadership is palpable. The new Emergency Department at LIJ Valley Stream showcases Northwell Health’s commitment to our patients, communities and staff.” – Paula Fessler, Vice President of Emergency Medicine Service Line

We’re excited to show off our new look and enhanced experience! Imagine what you could accomplish at these new facilities as a member of our team.
