For healthcare providers, particularly for hospitals, nurses remain the backbone of patient care. The Nursing Education Department offers ongoing updates and training in clinical practice areas that increase our nurses’ skill levels and provide our patients with the best care possible. This investment results in increased job satisfaction and retention of our nurses.
John T. Mather Memorial Hospital is an accredited 248-bed, non-profit community hospital dedicated to providing a wide spectrum of high quality healthcare services to
Suffolk County residents, showing compassion and respect and treating each patient in the manner we would wish for our loved ones.
