Uniondale's Hospital For Special Surgery Doubles Size, Adds Facilities
The orthopedic care center unveiled a new expansion last month, citing an increase in demand from Long Islanders.
UNIONDALE, NY — Uniondale's Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) has doubled in size, opening a brand new facility in April, in response to increased demand, the practice says.
The orthopedic practice gets the top-ranked spot in orthopedics worldwide by Newsweek and nationwide by U.S. News & World Report. The Uniondale location opened in 2000 as an offshoot of the New York City HSS hospital.
Two weeks ago, HSS held a ribbon cutting to mark the opening of the new expansion, which almost doubled the practice's size to 37,000 square feet. A new physical therapy center was added along with a second MRI machine and more doctor suites. HSS is in the Omni building on Earle Ovington Blvd.
