27th Branch Location on Long Island
Bethpage, NY – Bethpage Federal Credit Union, New York State’s largest credit union and Long Island’s leading community financial institution, yesterday celebrated the grand opening of its newest branch on Long Island located within Nassau University Medical Center, a part of the NuHealth health care organization, located at 2201 Hempstead Turnpike, East Meadow, NY 11554. This Bethpage branch is the credit union’s 27th branch location on Long Island and first hospital location, and will primarily serve NuHealth employees, but is available to patients, visitors and community members as well.
“Bethpage has been working with the employees of NuHealth for many years through the Civil Services Employees Association (CSEA) union. Opening a branch in one of their medical centers is a great, natural progression to service employees right where they work,” said Kirk Kordeleski, President and CEO, Bethpage Federal Credit Union. “We look forward to working closely with new and existing members in the community, and hope to make banking as convenient as possible for this busy building of professionals.”
The new Nassau University Medical Center branch is located near the Carman Ave entrance in the main corridor of the first floor. This bilingual branch employs six full-time employees in a 625 square foot location, and is Bethpage’s 15th location in Nassau County. Awilda Chacon is the new Nassau University Medical Center branch manager. This is Bethpage’s 16th bilingual branch. Previously known as Nassau Health Care Corporation, NuHealth also manages the operations of A. Holly Patterson Extended Care and a network of Family Health Centers on Long Island.
Most recently, Bethpage opened a branch in the Valley Stream King Kullen, the credit union’s fourth branch to be housed inside a King Kullen Supermarket. Three additional Nassau branches are slated for Long Beach, Baldwin and Albertson.

Its growing network of 27 local branches, 60 shared service centers, more than 425 surcharge-free ATMs, and free online and mobile banking services provides members with easy access to their accounts wherever and whenever they need it.
