About
Campus Life and Setting
New York College of Health Professions is located in Syosset, New York, on the north shore of Long Island, approximately 30 miles east of Manhattan. The campus is easily accessible via the Long Island Railroad. The surrounding area offers convenient access to shopping, restaurants, theaters, houses of worship, and museums. Long Island's beaches, state parks, golf courses, and upstate mountains are all within easy driving distance.
The student body represents a cross section of ages, nationalities, ethnicities, and interests — all sharing a common goal to positively impact the health care system. This diversity enriches the campus experience and fosters a collaborative learning environment.
Campus Facilities
The Syosset campus houses all administrative offices for the College's educational programs, as well as a physical arts deck, academic health care teaching clinics, herbal dispensary, the Steve Kaufman Library, bookstore, faculty work room, and student lounge. All offices of Enrollment Services are located at the main campus.
Academic Health Care Teaching Clinics
The teaching clinics are an integral part of each student's educational experience, providing over 5,500 patient treatments annually. These fully supervised clinics offer affordable holistic health care to the community — including Swedish massage, Asian bodywork massage, reflexology, acupuncture, and herbal consultations — while serving as clinical internship sites for student practitioners.
Herbal Dispensary
The Herbal Dispensary carries a variety of products constituting a traditional Chinese herbal formula pharmacy, including raw herb materials, prepared materials in pill, powder, tincture, extract and topical forms, as well as homeopathic remedies and nutritional supplements. Some products are dispensed only after consultation and recommendation from a clinic health care professional. The dispensary is open to the community.
Steve Kaufman Library
The Steve Kaufman Library contains the most extensive collection of holistic medicine materials available on Long Island, including books, anatomical models, journals, multimedia, and online resources specializing in acupuncture, herbal medicine, and massage therapy. Wireless internet is available throughout the library, along with networked computer workstations providing access to the library catalog, online databases with full-text research articles, email, and Microsoft Office Suite. A tutoring room is available for one-on-one assistance and small study groups.
The library is a member of the Long Island Library Resources Council and MEDLI, fostering cooperation and resource sharing among medical libraries on Long Island.
