On September 24, 2025, the New York State Nurses Association (NYSNA) filed a petition for a union election for registered nurses at Northwell’s Long Island Jewish Medical Center (LIJ). While we respect LIJ RNs’ right to organize, we strongly believe that you are best served by the relationship we have currently.
Employers are required by law to only share facts when discussing unionization. Unlike NYSNA, we can’t make promises we might not be able to keep. This site is dedicated to informing our nurses and providing you with ALL of the facts about unionization.
Northwell’s Long Island Jewish Medical Center (LIJ) is a nonprofit teaching hospital serving the greater metropolitan New York area. We focus on the complete care of every patient, with a compassionate and collaborative approach to ensure the best possible outcomes.
At LIJ, nurses take pride in being part of an organization that respects and cares for them, both personally and professionally. We have a supportive, collaborative culture where team members feel valued for their contributions and the dedication they bring to their patients.
As part of Northwell, LIJ is a Fortune 2025 Best Place to Work in Healthcare because we equip our team members with the tools they need to provide the best care. We put care teams first, so that our care teams can put patients first.
LIJ is proud to offer a variety of industry leading benefits and competitive compensation to our nurses. With LIJ, you have FREEDOM to choose benefits including retirement savings plans, short-and long-term disability coverage and generous family planning benefits that work best for you and your family.
