Huntington Hospital unveils $3M interventional radiology suite — a quiet win for Huntington homebuyers

Huntington Hospital Unveils $3M Interventional Radiology Suite — Raising the Bar for Local Healthcare

A new era of advanced, minimally invasive care has arrived in Huntington.

Huntington Hospital, part of the Northwell Health system, has unveiled a newly renovated $3 million, 1,300-square-foot interventional radiology suite designed to bring cutting-edge medical technology to the North Shore community. The new suite promises faster recovery times, less pain, and safer outcomes for patients — all right here in Huntington.

Precision Care Powered by Innovation

At the heart of the new suite is the Philips Azurion 7 M20 system, a high-resolution imaging platform that enables physicians to perform complex, image-guided procedures with greater accuracy than ever before. Supported in part by philanthropic donations, this technology marks a major leap forward in local healthcare capabilities.

“Interventional radiology and oncology are at the cutting edge of medical innovation,” said Dr. Anthony Armetta, director of vascular and interventional radiology at Huntington Hospital. “With the addition of the new suite, we’re elevating the standard of care for our community to the very highest level.”

Minimally Invasive Procedures, Maximum Results

Interventional radiology allows physicians to use imaging tools like X-rays, CT scans, and ultrasounds to guide treatments through tiny incisions — often replacing the need for traditional surgery. The benefits? Less pain, smaller scars, faster recovery, and in many cases, same-day or next-day discharge.

The suite’s wide range of services includes:

• Cancer treatments like microwave ablation and Y-90 radioembolization

• Men’s and women’s health procedures, including prostate artery and uterine fibroid embolization

• Vascular treatments for blocked arteries, dialysis access, and aortic aneurysms

• Emergency interventions, such as stopping internal bleeding or removing blood clots

“This investment underscores our commitment to bringing world-class care to the people of Huntington and surrounding communities,” said Dr. Nick Fitterman, president of Huntington Hospital. “From cancer treatments to emergency interventions, patients can now receive advanced, minimally invasive care close to home.”

Why This Matters for Huntington Residents

For local families, this upgrade is more than just a hospital renovation — it’s a reassurance that top-tier healthcare is available right in their backyard. As Huntington continues to attract new homeowners and professionals drawn to its mix of suburban charm and proximity to Manhattan, high-quality medical infrastructure like this helps strengthen the community’s appeal and quality of life.
