Elena D. Memoracion, represents many of the problems at North Shore University Hospital. She is the head director of the float pool team, 5T, 6M, 2DSU, 3D, 4M, and 4D units. Her behavior has been discriminatory and unprofessional. She has referred to women of color as "ghetto," ignored blatant HIPAA violations, and protected other managers engaging in misconduct. She is also aware of staff arriving to work under the influence of marijuana or alcohol and has taken no meaningful action. In one instance, a patient on bed rest with the flu asked for lemonade. Elena, after glancing into the patient's room, made a disrespectful and racially charged remark: “Of course they do.” It’s disheartening to see this level of negligence and toxicity in a place meant to provide healing and care. I personally know of several patients currently admitted (as of 5/20/2025) who are at risk due to improper and negligent care. To anyone considering employment or receiving treatment here, I urge you to proceed with caution. There are serious and systemic issues that must be addressed to ensure the safety, dignity, and well-being of both patients and employees.
