Cause Description:
St. John's Episcopal Hospital South Shore, (EHS) located in Far Rockaway, New York. St. John's Episcopal Hospital South Shore, the cornerstone of Episcopal Health Services, is a 332 bed acute care teaching hospital serving the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens and the Five Towns Communities in Nassau County. Episcopal Health Services , a healthcare organization of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island, is a voluntary, not for profit corporation organized under the laws of the State of New York. The Hospital is the largest primary care provider in the community. The State has designated St. John's as the 911 Receiving Hospital for the Five Towns and Far Rockaway communities. Over 30,000 patients came through the Emergency Department in 2001. We have a Level II Trauma Center that services more than 500 patients per year. The Hospital's Emergency Department is open seven days per week, 24 hours a day and is staffed by full time board-certified physicians in all of the major specialties. The Hospital has its own x-ray and CAT scan facilities to make certain that patients get the diagnostic services they need quickly. In the Emergency Department, as elsewhere at St. John's, no one in need of medical treatment is ever turned away, regardless of ability to pay. This commitment permeates every corner of the institution. A significant amount of St. John's annual budget is devoted annually to the care of the indigent and working poor. St. John's provides patients with a full range of advanced services from physicians with in-depth training in their specialties. St. John's is the only multi-disciplinary teaching hospital in the area As such, it is home to approximately 125 residents, interns, fellows, and more than 350 voluntary physicians in all specialties and most sub-specialties.
