Northwell Hewlett location transitions from urgent care to pediatric and adult care

Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent Care, in the Peninsula Shopping Plaza at 1332 Peninsula Blvd., has added adult care to its existing pediatric center in Hewlett, a first of its kind in New York, Northwell officials said.

Along with board-certified doctors who can provide specialized care for infants as young as one week old, it is staffed and clinically managed by Northwell Health providers.

There are treatments for non-life threatening illnesses and injuries, on-site X-ray services, Covid-19 testing and flu vaccines. It also equipped with nebulizers, infant scales and other pediatric tools.

The unified medical records are fully electronic and accessible to caregivers across the Northwell Health network. If a caregiver is outside the network, the information can be transferred directly to any primary care physician or pediatrician.

“We are excited to build on our existing presence in Hewlett to provide on-demand care for patients of all ages that is connected to Northwell Health’s world-renowned experts and robust network,” Dr. Lynda Gerberg said in a news release.

Gerberg is lead pediatrician at Cohen Children’s Northwell Health-GoHealth Urgent care.

Patients seeking care can be seen efficiently at any Northwell Health-GoHealth center or going online to pre-register. For more about Northwell Health-Go health locations go to GoHealthUs.com/northwell.
