Within the past five years, Peninsula Hospital Center completed a modernization of its Department of Emergency Medicine that included a complete renovation of patient treatment areas and most recently, the modernization, expansion and upgrade of its mammography suite.  The Hospital Center’s “Century Projects” include the upgrade and renovation of the inpatient dialysis unit, acquisition of a new linear accelerator and the expansion of radiation oncology services, expanded surgical services, acquisition of new heath information technology and the expansion of the Adult and Pediatric Diabetes Programs.  Perhaps the most exciting project is the construction of a Cardiac Catheterization Laboratory in collaboration with the Long Island Jewish Medical Center, which will be of vast significance in the prevention, discovery and management of heart disease in our region.  To commemorate the 100th year of service to the community, the Hospital Center recently acquired the latest in AngioScreen technology and is offering screenings free of charge to the community to assist in the early warning signs for stroke, hypertension and heart disease.
