History

The hospital was founded in 1896 as Long Island's first hospital. It was originally named Nassau Hospital, but the name was changed to Winthrop-University Hospital in 1985 due to confusion with Nassau County Medical Center. The name was chosen to honor the Winthrop family, including Robert Winthrop, an investment banker and former president of the hospital who was a descendant of John Winthrop, and his uncle and wife.^[4]

In 1996, it became part of the Winthrop South Nassau University Health System, alongside South Nassau Communities Hospital (now Mount Sinai South Nassau). In 2003, the Winthrop South Nassau System became part of New York Presbyterian.^[5]

In 2017, Winthrop became affiliated with NYU Langone, becoming NYU Winthrop.^[6] By 2019, a full asset merger between NYU and Winthrop had been complete. In November 2020, it was announced that the hospital changed its name to NYU Langone Hospital - Long Island.^[7]

The details of the Winthrop South Nassau departure from New York Presbyterian are unclear. The details of the Winthrop-South Nassau breakup are also unclear, but the two hospitals are now affiliated with different health systems.
