Hospitals and Health Care Centers

Getting diagnosed with cancer means spending a lot of time at a hospital or healthcare center for testing, treatment and check-ups.

Challenge: How do I find the best hospital/healthcare center for me?

Solution: Hospitals and healthcare centers are institutions that provide medical and surgical care for the sick and injured. However, not all hospitals and healthcare centers are the same. Learning about an institution’s philosophy, its strengths, its weaknesses, the number and kinds of doctors associated with it, can help you select a hospital/healthcare center that
is most consistent with your needs. Below you will find a listing of hospitals and healthcare centers and their websites.

TIP #6 Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center “Satellites” on Long Island.
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center or MSK has three outpatient centers on Long Island that could be an attractive alternative for East End cancer patients who cannot easily make the trip to MSK’s main facility in New York City.

The Satellite in Suffolk County has 12 doctors and offers medical oncology, chemotherapy, radiation oncology, radiology, surgery consultations, genetic counseling and integrative medicine, all in a location that’s convenient for you.
650 Commack Road, Commack NY 11725..................................................631-623-4000

The Satellite in Nassau County, located in the Mercy Medical Center, is a smaller facility.
It has six doctors (three radiation oncologists and three medical oncologists) who
provide outpatient chemotherapy and radiation services.
1000 North Village Avenue, Rockville Center, NY 11570
Medical Oncology......................................................................................516-256-3651
Radiation Oncology...................................................................................516-256-3600

In recent years, a Skin Cancer Center was established in Hauppauge. This facility provides dermatology services, including Mohs surgery. Used primarily to treat squamous and basal cell carcinomas, Mohs surgery allows the surgeon to pinpoint and
remove cancerous tissue while leaving healthy skin intact.
800 Veterans Highway, 2nd Floor, Hauppauge, NY 11788............................631-863-5100

Doctors at all three satellites benefit from many kinds of collaboration with MSK’s main facility. This includes, perhaps most importantly, the ability to connect with the world class faculty in terms of cancer diagnosis, potential treatments and availability of clinical trials.

Tip # 7 Ambulance Services on the East End
Incase of a medical emergency, dial 911. It’s always a good rule of thumb to dial 911 in a medical emergency but there
may be a time where a situation is not emergent but medical assistance is still needed. Each town provides it’s own ambulance service that is accessable by calling your local fire department. Below you will find a listing of local fire and
ambulance phone numbers.
