New facility on the former Burlington site brings six operating rooms and a variety of physician practices to Main Street
NYU Langone Health officially swings open the doors to its new ambulatory care center in downtown Patchogue on Monday.
The 54,000-square-foot NYU Langone Ambulatory Care Patchogue fills a completely renovated space with a long history as a downtown retail anchor. It originally housed BeeHive before operating as Mid-Island Department Store for decades, and lastly as a Burlington.
While not in full operating mode until Monday, surgeons from nearby NYU Langone Hospital—Suffolk have already been performing procedures inside the new site’s six operating rooms. The two-floor building also features a range of multi-specialty physician practices.
The finished product
NYU Langone purchased the building at 196 E. Main St. in 2022, months after Burlington packed up and reopened in Gateway Plaza on Sunrise Highway.
At the time, Patchogue Mayor Paul Pontieri called it exactly what Main Street needed: “It’s what Main Street needs right now.”
The ambulatory center is the latest expansion tied to East Patchogue’s NYU Langone Hospital—Suffolk, formerly Brookhaven Memorial Hospital and later Long Island Community Hospital before the merger between Long Island Community Hospital and NYU Langone Health was completed and the hospital took its current name.
The hospital has grown its capabilities since the merger. Last fall, it was verified as a Level II Adult Trauma Center by the American College of Surgeons, allowing it to treat the full range of adult trauma cases without patients needing to travel and be transferred elsewhere.
NYU Langone Health last month announced plans to build a new academic medical center in Melville. It will be the first ground-up hospital construction on Long Island in nearly 50 years.
In May, the health system completed its purchase $135.5 million purchase of a 45-acre parcel at the Huntington Quadrangle for the new hospital. The location is just southeast of where the Long Island Expressway meets Route 110.
The new facility, located in Huntington Town, will include more than 500 private inpatient rooms, over 70 emergency department bays, and advanced operating and procedure suites with the latest diagnostic imaging technology, NYU Langone officials said.
NYU Langone leadership and local elected officials will mark Monday’s opening in Patchogue with an 11:30 a.m. ribbon-cutting ceremony at the building’s north entrance.
