Northwell Health represents the largest provider of healthcare in New York State with a significant presence in both the Long Island (LI) and Lower Hudson Valley (LHV) MARO subregions.

Based upon these proven best practices, competency-based framework and curriculum standardization, the Public Safety Academy will use these standards as the Regional Training Center.
