Long Island
Schneider
Children's Hospital and Schneider Children's Hospital at North Shore
are located in suburban communities. The hospitals are located close
to beaches, parks, sports arenas, cultural centers, and major transportation
routes. It is only 30 miles by car or train to midtown Manhattan.
Long
Island is considered one of the finest places in the country to work
and live. It has miles of coastline on both its north and south shores
with superb swimming, sailing, boating, water skiing and fishing opportunities.
Sports fans, too, have a lot to cheer about. Professional baseball,
basketball, hockey, football, lacrosse, soccer and tennis are played
in nearby stadiums and arenas.
For those
interested in the arts there is an incomparable choice of excellent
museums, performing arts centers, theater, music and historic sites
on both the Island and nearby New York City. The region's restaurants,
which offer food from all over the world in a variety of settings, are
in wonderful, unmatched abundance. Physicians with children will find
excellent schools in nearby communities, fine day care centers, summer
camps, and nursery school facilities. In addition, local libraries are
noted for a broad range of programs.
The
best of many worlds is offered to residents of the North Shore. When
you consider the importance of community to you and your family we think
you will find yet another reason to join our program.
