Responding to community needs, Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care has expanded its late-night services, now with 10 locations providing expanded hours from 8 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week.

Over the last 18 months, Northwell Health-GoHealth has evaluated the expansion of its late-night hours in Roslyn, one of the first centers to stay open until midnight. The Roslyn center began to see an influx of late-night visits, improving access to care for nearby residents.

That initiative prompted an analysis of other communities that would benefit from expanded hours. Northwell Health-GoHealth has since expanded hours at additional centers, including  Mineola on Long Island, and Bulls Head in Staten Island most recently, in December.

“By extending our hours, we are increasing our delivery of care, when and where our community needs it most,” said Vivek Taparia, regional president. “Sore throats, fevers, coughs and minor injuries that require x-rays, sutures or other expert healthcare services don’t wait for a convenient time to occur. With our late-night hours, we are caring for patients up until midnight, helping families avoid the emergency room or waiting until the next day for medical attention.”

The complete list of Northwell Health-GoHealth centers that are open until midnight now includes:

• Dongan Hills, 1700 Hylan Blvd (Staten Island)
• East 96th, 175 E 96th St (Manhattan)
• Forest Hills at 68th Ave, 102-29 Queens Blvd (Queens)
• Roslyn, 1033 Northern Blvd (Long Island)
• Lynbrook, 683 Sunrise Hwy (Long Island)
• Levittown, 3631 Hempstead Turnpike (Long Island)
• Elwood, 1912 Jericho Turnpike (Long Island)
• Bay Shore, 603 E Main St (Long Island)
• Bulls Head, 1445 Richmond Ave, Ste E (Staten Island)
• Mineola, 50 E Jericho Turnpike (Long Island)

Additionally, a new center opening in Yaphank in early 2024 will also stay open until midnight. To help patients access any necessary ongoing or follow-up treatment, the centers’ providers can make priority referrals to top Northwell Health specialists.
