Nassau County Legislator Laura M. Schaefer joined with other elected officials to celebrate the grand opening of a new $80 million dollar, 95,000 square-foot Research and Academic Center at Winthrop University Hospital in Mineola.
“The new Research and Academic Center will become an epicenter of wellness care, research and medical study for Nassau County and the region as Winthrop takes on the tough job of confronting how personal habits, nutrition and the destructive forces of obesity are threatening our future and driving up the costs of healthcare,” said John F. Collins, President and CEO of Winthrop-University Hospital during the Grand Opening Ceremony.
“The new Research and Academic Center at Winthrop-University hospital will be a great asset to benefit the health of Nassau County residents, both now and for generations to come,” said Legislator Nicolello.
