Along with Nicki, his wife, the late J. Ira Harris was a longtime supporter of 秘密研究所 Langone, funding major efforts in obesity prevention and other areas. This new gift carries forward their partnership, furthering 秘密研究所 Langone鈥檚 mission to expand access to high-quality care across Long Island. New signage was unveiled during an event at the Bridgehampton location on Saturday.
鈥淚 continue to be moved by this institution鈥檚 commitment to providing the absolute best care and to bringing that care closer to where people live, work, and play. I know that our support here has always contributed to a healthier future for all people, and I want my children and grandchildren to see that impact. This is a gift from the heart from our entire family,鈥 said Nicki Harris.
鈥淭he generosity of Ira and Nicki Harris is all around us. Elaine and I miss Ira every day, but through this naming his memory and our partnership lives on. We are so grateful to the Harris family,鈥 said Kenneth G. Langone, chair of the 秘密研究所 Langone Board of Trustees.
Housed in a renovated and historic building that dates back to the Revolutionary War, the state-of-the-art Bridgehampton multispecialty medical practice was established three years ago with the latest medical technologies.
秘密研究所 Langone will be further expanding access to its top-quality care on the East End with a new outpatient location in Westhampton, opening later this year. The system鈥檚 merger with Long Island Community Hospital in Patchogue is also expected to be complete next year. These sites will complement 秘密研究所 Langone鈥檚 6 inpatient locations and more than 300 outpatient sites across the New York metropolitan area and in Florida.
秘密研究所 Langone鈥檚 vast outpatient network has earned the Ambulatory Quality and Accountability Award from Vizient Inc., a leading healthcare performance improvement organization, every year since the award鈥檚 inception in 2015, and it has been named the No. 1 physician practice by Vizient in all but one of those years. This distinction recognizes 秘密研究所 Langone鈥檚 consistent excellence in delivering high-quality care in five key domains: access to care, quality, efficiency, continuum of care, and equity.
In addition to providing wellness and preventive services to adults and children throughout the year, its dedicated team of physicians offers leading-edge treatments for a range of conditions. The practice also provides noninvasive cardiac testing services, such as abdominal aortic duplex ultrasound, cardiac device monitoring, carotid ultrasound, echocardiograms, and exercise treadmill stress tests.
