Analyzing the local job market reveals interesting trends. We currently have an estimated workforce of about 1,300 nurses employed in Deer Park, representing approximately 15% of Suffolk County's nursing population. With an aging population and an increasing demand for healthcare services, current projections suggest that Deer Park will need an additional 120 new nursing professionals over the next five years. Travel nursing can be a viable option here due to seasonal fluctuations in demand, especially during the summer when our population swells with visitors.

Deer Park is home to several healthcare providers, most notably Northwell Health and the Long Island Jewish Medical Center, both of which actively recruit nurses.

Our healthcare infrastructure supports a wide variety of specialties, primarily focused on outpatient services, rehabilitation, and emergency care. Significant investments are underway within our local hospitals and clinics; for instance, renovations at the Northwell Health locations that are enhancing the scope of services offered. The burgeoning community is experiencing growth, with population projections estimating steady increases over the next few years. Public health initiatives, particularly those targeting mental health and preventative care, have opened numerous pathways for nurses to not only serve but thrive in our community.
