In 2018, the hospital proposed changing its name from Brookhaven Memorial Hospital to "Long Island Medical Center." However, the name was never implemented, and it ultimately would be renamed Long Island Community Hospital.[4] [5]
In 2022, the hospital became affiliated with NYU Langone Health, with the merger being approved by state and federal agencies in late 2021.[6] It was announced that merger was expected to take three years to fully complete.[7]
