(433)
Occupying two large campuses, plus a number of community-based health centers and labs, the hospital provides quality care to the people of Staten Island, the New York metropolitan region, and to patients from around the world. The 17-acre north campus (475 Seaview Avenue, Ocean Breeze) features the architecturally beautiful six-story Tower Pavilion; home of the renowned Heart Institute of Staten Island, a joint venture with Richmond University Medical Center. The Heart Institute rivals the best cardiac centers in the nation, and offers advanced cardiothoracic surgeries, including "continuous beating heart" surgery plus sophisticated invasive and non-invasive diagnostics. The north campus also is home to the prestigious Nalitt Institute for Cancer and Blood-Related Diseases, which was New York State's very first freestanding ambulatory cancer care facility, and remains an innovator with leading-edge research protocols and a compassionate, caring ethic. Other vital north site locales include the multi-specialty Irving R. Boody, Jr. Medical Arts Pavilion, the hospital's Regional Burn Center with its deserved national reputation for Pediatric burn care, plus a Trauma Center, Center for Women's Health, and widely-acclaimed programs for high-risk pregnancies and maternal care. The south campus (375 Seguine Avenue, Princes Bay) offers specialty programs that include Geriatric Psychiatry, the hospital's accredited Institute for Sleep Medicine, and a range of behavioral health and substance abuse services. Both campuses have 911-receiving Emergency Departments, and Staten Island's fully-modern, new Emergency Department and Education Center is currently under construction at the north site. Founded in 1861, Staten Island University Hospital today is a member of the North Shore-LIJ Health System, and enjoys numerous academic and clinical affiliations and accreditations.
Mission: Staten Island University Hospital is dedicated to providing our community with the best possible quality care through continuous quality improvement efforts. We consider employees to be our greatest resource. We continually examine the way we do our work in order to make improvements and prevent errors.

COVID-19 has cost people their lives and their livelihoods. With the arrival of the vaccine there is finally light at the end of the tunnel, but the fight isn't over. The vaccine won’t be widely available yet, so we can't let our guard down with safety protocols. COVID survivors and business owners beg you to wear a face masks and social distance - these are crucial public health measures that we know can help slow the spread of the virus. Let's keep everyone safe. #MaskUp

It was a hero’s reunion yesterday. US Army Corporal, Daniel Elliot returned home from a 10-month deployment to Iraq and Kuwait to surprise his healthcare hero mom, Regina Elliot, RN, who’s been on the frontlines in the fight against COVID-19.
Regina is a nurse in the hospital’s outpatient surgical center, but during the COVID-19 surge, she was redeployed to the coronavirus units to care for critically ill patients.
Corporal Elliot has been overseas since the start of the pandemic and attempted to surprise his mom, but mother’s intuition kicked in and sent Regina running into the arms of her son.

From the first coronavirus patient, our Environmental Services (EVS) teams have been on the frontlines. A few weeks ago, as the hospital played "Here Comes the Sun" for the last COVID-19 patients in the Heart Tower, the EVS team used our ultraviolet light technology, PurpleSun to help disinfect the critical care units to make them coronavirus-free as SIUH began treating critically ill patients and prepares to resume elected procedures. #COVID19 #StatenIsland
The hospital restructured patient flow with designated entrances and waiting areas to create a safe environment for our patients, families, and team members at both its North and South Sites.
Limiting the use of the hospital’s main lobby, Pre-Admission Surgical Testing (PAST) has been relocated to the hospital’s Medical Arts Pavilion (MAP) building. “We hope reallocating the entrances for patients needing procedures and elective surgeries will give them a sense of comfort, and knowledge that things are being done in a safe environment to meet the demands of our new world,” Dr. Ardolic said.
