The two acute-care hospitals physically on Staten Island are Staten Island University Hospital (Northwell Health, North campus at 475 Seaview Avenue and South campus commonly cited at 375 Seguine Avenue) and Richmond University Medical Center (355 Bard Avenue), which has a clinical affiliation with Mount Sinai Health System for emergency care.
Inside the discharge window
Which hospital a family deals with often shapes which senior-care neighborhoods get considered first, simply because discharge planners tend to have working relationships with facilities they place patients with regularly. A discharge from SIUH's North campus in Dongan Hills may point toward different nearby options than a discharge from Richmond University Medical Center on the North Shore.
Staten Island University Hospital operates 668 beds across its two campuses and is a teaching hospital; Richmond University Medical Center is a 440+ bed teaching hospital with named service lines including emergency/trauma, surgery, pediatrics, geriatrics, and behavioral health. Confirm current campus addresses directly with the hospital system before relying on a specific address for an in-person visit, since campus details can change.
