“I was proud to stand with my colleagues in the Senate and the Assembly as well as residents of our Nassau County community to advocate for state funding of Nassau University Medical Center (NUMC). NUMC plays a vital role in the health care system for Nassau County residents and the hospital deserves our support. For far too long, NUMC has been shortchanged by New York State. To ensure families in need receive the medical treatment and care they deserve, it is time for the New York State Legislature to step up and fund NUMC.”
