Nassau University Medical Center
Nassau University Medical Center (NUMC) is a 530-bed tertiary care teaching hospital that has been the primary source of medical care for millions of Nassau County residents since 1935. The heart of NuHealth – a Long Island-based health system committed to deliver coordinated medical care, disease and lifestyle management to everyone, at every stage of life, NUMC is affiliated with the North Shore-LIJ Health System.
In addition to its own extensive medical and surgical capabilities, NUMC’s affiliation with the North Shore-LIJ Health System allows NUMC to transfer or refer patients requiring highly specialized medicine outside the prevue of care offered at NUMC. On-site partnerships with some of the region's top specialists, including the North Shore-LIJ cardiology team, expands NUMC’s ability to bring highly specialized medicine to NUMC.

“In bourgeois society, the French and the industrial revolution transformed the authorization of political space. The political revolution put an end to the formalized hierarchy of the ancien regimé.... Concurrently, the industrial revolution subverted the social hierarchy upon which the old political space was based. It transformed the experience of society from one of vertical hierarchy to one of horizontal class stratification.”
