Long Beach Medical Center (formerly Long Beach Memorial Hospital) was a 403-bed[2] teaching and community hospital located in Long Beach, New York. Long Beach Hospital was destroyed as a result of Hurricane Sandy. Hospital leaders are currently lobbying for state funds to rebuild the hospital. Nearby South Nassau Communities Hospital now operates a freestanding emergency department on the site of the former Long Beach Hospital. [needs update]
It is affiliated with the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine and the New York College of Podiatric Medicine.[3]
Medical staff residency training records and verification are available through the Federation of State Medical Boards' Federation Credentials Verification Service (FCVS)[4] Closed Residency program records.[5]
