Long Island Community Hospital served this richly diverse region as a community hospital for more than 60 years. And as the area has grown, so have they.

Anesthesiology is the medical specialty concerned with the total perioperative care of patients before, during, and after surgery. It encompasses anesthesia, intensive care medicine, critical emergency medicine, and pain medicine. Anesthesiologists have the primary responsibility of monitoring the patient’s vital signs during surgery. In addition to basic measurements such as pulse, blood pressure and temperature, anesthesiologists also measure the patient’s respiration. Pain medicine is a medical specialty that focuses on the evaluation, treatment, and prevention of pain.
