St. John's Episcopal Hospital

What St. John's Episcopal Hospital does

St. John's Episcopal Hospital, operating as part of Episcopal Health Services Inc. (EHS), is a non-profit, non-taxable acute-care community teaching hospital founded in 1905 and located in Far Rockaway on the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens, New York. It functions as the principal provider of emergency, inpatient, and outpatient services for the Rockaway Peninsula and Five Towns populations — a geographically isolated, culturally diverse, and medically underserved catchment. The hospital operates with approximately 1,001–5,000 employees and trains around 180 medical residents annually. Service lines span primary care, 24/7 emergency medicine, cancer care, behavioral health (adult and pediatric), women's health (obstetrics, gynecology, breast health), pediatrics, a Level II NICU with escalation to Long Island Jewish Medical Center for Level IV cases, wound care with hyperbaric therapy, imaging, orthopedics, urology, vascular surgery, stroke care, and rehabilitation.

The physical and digital footprint includes a main hospital campus at 327 Beach 19th St in Far Rockaway, the 2024-opened Walsh Ambulatory Pavilion (housing the EHS Cancer Center, medical/radiation oncology, and a Low-Dose Radiation Therapy program for osteoarthritis), plus dedicated outpatient locations for pediatrics, primary/specialty care at Rockaway Beach, vascular surgery, and the Margaret O. Carpenter Women's Health Center. Clinical technology assets include a Joint Commission-accredited simulation lab that earned Society for Simulation in Healthcare national accreditation in 2026, integrated with the residency teaching program. Digital infrastructure is conventional: a patient portal, Athenahealth-powered consumer appointment scheduling, and ADAM medical encyclopedia content for patient education. There is no evidence of proprietary AI/ML, patents, or model development.

EHS generates revenue through insurance reimbursements, Medicare/Medicaid, and patient payments across inpatient, ambulatory/outpatient, and emergency services, supplemented by philanthropy channeled through the wholly-owned St. John's ICARE Foundation. Services are provided regardless of ability to pay, consistent with its safety-net mission. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via hospital-based walk-ins, scheduled appointments, physician referrals, and community outreach; marketing is centered on the ehs.org website plus a newsletter, newsroom, and community health events. Recorded 2024 utilization was 9,491 inpatient visits, 47,652 ER visits, and 93,584 ambulatory/outpatient visits.
