Life & wellness
A life outside the department
Wellness that starts with how people treat each other on shift, and an island worth your days off.
Resident wellness
Medicine is a part of your life, not your entire life
Events residents choose
Two wellness events a year, picked by the residents themselves. Recent pick: Top Golf.
An open door
Leadership keeps an open-door policy, and feedback moves quickly in a program this size.
A real voice
Residents sit in on Program Evaluation Committee decisions. This is a new program, so your input shapes it.
Long Island
Where you’ll actually live
Bethpage sits in the middle of Nassau County, close to the water, close to the city, easy to leave from.
The water
Beaches within 15 minutes of the hospital. Fire Island ferries, 37 state parks, and the Gold Coast shoreline.
The city
Penn Station in about 45 minutes by rail. JFK under 30 minutes by car when you need to get away.
The weekends
North Fork vineyards, Jones Beach Theater summers, Bethpage Black for golfers, and Huntington’s restaurants and bars.
