Struggling NUMC spent millions in tax dollars to create a neurosciences unit. The plan failed.
Nassau University Medical Center spent millions on an effort to create a “first-class” neurosciences department, seeking to attract more patients and revenue for potentially lucrative procedures.
Despite those investments, however, including spending millions on new practitioners and renovating a section of the hospital, the hoped-for patients and revenue failed to materialize.
The failed attempt to create a successful neurosciences department highlights how questionable management decisions and frequent leadership turnover have hindered NUMC’s attempts to stabilize its finances. And they raise questions about what kinds of services the hospital can sustainably offer.
