North Shore University Hospital (NSUH) is one of the cornerstones of Northwell Health, as well as an academic campus for Hofstra Northwell School of Medicine, the New York University School of Medicine and the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. It is located in Manhasset, New York.

A Level I Trauma Center, the hospital has 806 beds, and a staff of more than 3,000 specialty and subspecialty physicians. It offers advanced care in all medical and surgical specialties, including cardiovascular services, cancer care, orthopedics, maternal-fetal medicine and a full array of women's health services. In addition, the hospital offers advanced neuroscience capabilities, including the Harvey Cushing Institutes of Neuroscience. These include the Chiari Institute, Movement Disorders Institute, Brain Tumor Institute, Brain Aneurysm Center, Headache Center and Spine Center as well as a state-designated stroke center. NSUH also excels in intensive care for newborn and pediatric patients.

The NSUH campus is home to The Feinstein Institute for Medical Research.

North Shore Hospital was built on 12 acres (4.9 ha) of land donated by John Hay Whitney. The groundbreaking ceremony was on May 6, 1951 and was televised by NBC. The hospital opened on July 27, 1953 with an inpatient capacity of 169 beds. The addition of the Payson-Whitney Pavilion in 1963 increased the inpatient capacity to 286 beds. Changes from 1969 to 1976 included creation of the Cohen Pavilion and the Levitt Ambulatory Care Clinic. The Payson-Whitney Pavilion also was expanded to ten stories and named the Payson-Whitney Tower (now just Tower Pavilion). This increased inpatient capacity of the hospital to 512 beds. In 1992 the Don Monti Pavilion increased inpatient capacity to the current 731 beds. In 2006, North Shore University Hospital named its campus in honor for contributor and trustee, Sandra Atlas Bass.

In 1990 The Community Hospital at Glen Cove (now Glen Cove Hospital - The Mildred and Frank Feinberg Campus) merged with North Shore University Hospital forming North Shore Health System. The North Shore Health System continued to expand to other communities on Long Island over the next several years, as Syosset community Hospital (Syosset Hospital), Franklin Hospital Medical Center (now Franklin Hospital), Central General Hospital (now Plainview Hospital) and LaGuardia Hospital (now Forest Hills Hospital) merged with the North Shore Health System. In 1997, the two largest medical centers on Long Island, North Shore Health System and Long Island Jewish (LIJ) Medical Center merged. This created the North Shore-LIJ Health System, today known as Northwell Health, the third largest non-profit secular healthcare system in the United States, based on number of beds, as of 2008.
