'''Winthrop-University Hospital''', is a 591-bed [[hospital]] located in [[Mineola, New York]], on [[Long Island]]. Founded in 1896, as '''Nassau Hospital''', it is a teaching hospital of the [[State University of New York at Stony Brook]]'s medical college.
Winthrop-University Hospital, founded in 1896 by local physicians and residents as Nassau Hospital, was Long Island's first voluntary hospital. In 1897, it admitted 91 patients, performed 27 operations, and reported two births and eight deaths during the first year. The original hospital was constructed in 1900.
It was renamed Winthrop in the early 1980s to avoid confusion with Nassau County Medical Center, now [[Nassau University Medical Center]] (NUMC), in East Meadow, New York. Ironically, NUMC's name itself was changed in the early 1970s (from Meadowbrook Hospital) after the completion of its current tower structure, the Dynamic Care building.
