   STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Once Richmond Memorial Hospital and then Staten Island
   University Hospital (SIUH) South Campus, the SIUH South Shore location is now
   officially SIUH Prince’s Bay.

SIUH and Northwell Health administrators gathered for a ceremony on Wednesday to
celebrate the renaming.

“For me, what this rebranding means is it’s a continuation of what we’ve always done
as well as a new path forward as we look to reinvent what this place needs to be for
this community,” said Dr. Brahim Ardolic, SIUH’s executive director. “Over the past
three years, this hospital has gone through a major transformation to offer specialized
care to Staten Island.”

Since 2018, SIUH Prince’s Bay has renovated and expanded its emergency
department, opened a cardiac rehabilitation center, and introduced robotic surgery
and a new Orthopedic & Surgical Care Unit. Ardolic shouted out Borough President

James Oddo, former Councilman Vincent Ignizio, and the Richmond County Savings
Bank for contributing to the funding for these improvements.

Northwell Health’s president and CEO, Michael Dowling, also spoke at the ceremony.

“[The renaming] represents a whole new commitment to the community here and the
revitalization of this hospital and building new programs to better serve the
community,” he said.

“The name is important, because it represents something new, a new journey –
looking to the future in a bright positive and optimistic way and committing to make
sure that the original intent of this hospital, which was to serve the community in a

holistic way. And we revisit that commitment and continue to invest and grow new
programs,” Dowling continued.

Ardolic added: “This place has provided quality care for many, many years and will
continue to do so making sure our patients are protected, that the emergency
department is always here for you, but on top of that, being able to provide outpatient
services that this community needs in a white glove manner.”

Ardolic also said that he believes the new name aligns with spirit of the hospital’s
founder and late benefactor, Berta Dreyfus.

“Providing services like orthopedic care, radiologic care, and many, many things going
forward is very exciting and I think this is in line with what Berta Dreyfus founded this
hospital to be. There are more and more things here for people not to have to leave the
South Shore and I think she’d be happy to see what’s happening here today,” he said.

During the early 1920s, Dreyfus donated $100,000 (valued at nearly $1.5 million
today) to then Richmond Memorial Hospital to build a three-story, 64-bed brick
building to replace the hospital’s original wooden structure. In 1935, she donated
another $275,000 (estimated $5.3M today) to add a new wing to the hospital,
doubling its size.

Organization (E.C.H.O.) Pediatric Emergency Unit three months ago.
