Hospital Resources

Patient Experience

While you are a patient at Glen Cove Hospital, every effort is made to provide you with the highest level of quality care. Each individual staff member is specially trained to meet your medical and personal needs. Occasionally, however, a patient or family member may have an individual need or concern that requires additional assistance. It is the responsibility of the patient or family member to inform the nursing or medical staff of all needs, questions, and concerns.

After you have discussed all issues with the nursing and medical staff, if you still feel additional assistance is required, an administrator is available to meet with you to discuss any special needs that you may have.

Please do not hesitate to call (516) 812-4777 (or ext. 4777 from your room) to reach Administration, during business hours Monday through Friday. During off shifts, including weekends and holidays, you may contact our nursing supervisor by dialing 0, and then asking to speak with the nursing supervisor on duty.

Flu and Pneumonia Vaccines

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) strongly recommends that all persons age 65 and older, and any younger persons with high-risk conditions, get the influenza vaccine before being discharged from the hospital. Please ask your nurse about receiving the flu shot, which is available in this hospital. The flu vaccine is paid for by Medicare.

The CDC also recommends that the same group of people get the pneumococcal vaccine before leaving the hospital. This vaccine is available year round and is paid for by Medicare. Please speak to your doctor.
