Descriptiontext

Staten Island University Hospital (SIUH) is a 668-bed nonprofit teaching hospital and wholly-owned subsidiary of Northwell Health, operating two main campuses on Staten Island, New York (North/Ocean Breeze at 475 Seaview Avenue and Prince's Bay), plus a network of specialty outpatient facilities. The North Campus anchors the institution's high-acuity identity with a Level I trauma center, an advanced emergency department, the Gruppuso Family Women and Newborn Center, the Nicotra Heart Institute, and the 40,000-square-foot Florina Cancer Center staffed by 30-plus cancer specialists. The Prince's Bay Campus contributes advanced emergency care with direct-to-room triage, a Total Joint program, cardiac MRI, an enhanced CT suite, and dedicated behavioral health treatment space. SIUH's clinical portfolio spans cardiology, oncology (medical, radiation, surgical, urologic, breast, gynecologic, neurologic, pediatric), neurology and neurosurgery (including a neurocritical care unit, endovascular and cerebrovascular surgery, brain tumor and pituitary centers, Gamma Knife Icon, and Vivistim VNS stroke rehabilitation), orthopedics and spine (Staten Island Spine Center within the Northwell Spine Institute), urology, urogynecology, otolaryngology, vascular surgery (with one of only two IAC-accredited noninvasive vascular labs in New York City), rehabilitation (CARF-accredited), and a Children's Cancer Center. Technology stack centers on capital-intensive platforms — da Vinci Surgical System, CORI robotic knee replacement, TrueBeam, Ethos with HyperSight AI-driven adaptive radiotherapy, UroNav MR/ultrasound fusion biopsy, PTAB/DETOUR endovascular bypass, 3D tomosynthesis mammography, and the Epic electronic health record with MyNorthwell patient portal.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through professional services: fee-for-service billing across inpatient stays, outpatient visits, emergency department encounters, surgical procedures, diagnostic imaging, laboratory, and rehabilitation, reimbursed by Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurers, and capitated arrangements within the Northwell system. The hospital is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit under HIPAA, HITECH, ISO 27001, ISO 9001, SOC 2 Type II, and FedRAMP Moderate frameworks inherited from Northwell; specific facility-level revenue and pricing are not publicly disclosed. Customer/patient acquisition is sales-led via physician referrals, emergency department walk-ins, community outreach, the EpicCare Link provider portal, and the MyNorthwell patient portal, with patient testimonials, the Northwell newsroom, the Well by Northwell content platform, and the Northwell Connections magazine serving as marketing channels. Strategic positioning emphasizes bringing world-class tertiary care (Level I trauma, comprehensive cancer, stroke, cardiac surgery, neurosurgery) within borough reach so Staten Island residents no longer need to cross bridges or ferries for advanced treatment.
