Zucker Hillside Hospital

What Zucker Hillside Hospital does

Zucker Hillside Hospital is a freestanding behavioral health hospital located in Glen Oaks, New York, operating as a flagship behavioral health facility within the Northwell Health system. Founded in 1985, it provides a full continuum of psychiatric care across the lifespan, including specialized inpatient units for adolescents, adults, geriatrics (42 combined beds), and a 22-bed women's unit focused on perinatal psychiatric illness (the first of its kind in New York State). Outpatient care spans partial hospitalization programs, the Early Treatment Program (the largest grant-funded OnTrackNY site in the state for first-episode psychosis), the SWAY program for ages 12-25 with emerging symptoms, addiction recovery services, electroconvulsive therapy, and specialty clinics for bipolar disorder and OCD.

Its service platform is built on multidisciplinary teams (psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, psychologists, social workers, peer counselors) credentialed with Magnet nursing excellence (2024 — fifth freestanding psychiatric hospital worldwide), and is tightly integrated with the Feinstein Institutes for Medical Research, which have hosted multiple NIMH research centers on the campus for over 30 years. Notable technical components include the Digital Health Program for between-visit symptom monitoring and standardized neuropsychological assessment tools used to guide treatment pathways.

The hospital generates revenue primarily through insurance-reimbursed clinical services (inpatient, outpatient, partial hospitalization, addiction treatment), supplemented by federal research grants via NIMH funding and philanthropic donations through Northwell. Patient acquisition blends direct hospital intake, referrals from 100 affiliated New York colleges through the Behavioral Health College Partnership, psychiatric assessments via Northwell EMS, and provider referrals across Northwell Health's integrated network. The hospital accepts most major insurances and operates as a regional referral center for complex psychiatric cases.
