• NUMC boss says repairing hospital could cost more than building new facility (newsday.com) — Nassau University Medical Center's CEO says it may be cheaper to build a brand-new hospital in East Meadow than repair the aging, problem-plagued building, which has leaks, broken boilers and shutdown operating rooms.
