STATEN ISLAND AS A COMMUNITY
Richmond University Medical Center is
located in a residential area along the North Shore of Staten Island.
The community itself maintains a unique flavor, close to the activity
of Manhattan, yet with a country-like atmosphere of parks, wooded areas
and small town living. Unlike many other sections of New York City,
Staten Island has an abundance of good neighborhood private and public
schools where stable, high quality teaching skills provide for a strong
and diversified educational system.
Opportunities for relaxed family life and individual recreation are in
great supply with the availability of boating, horseback riding, the
Staten Island Zoo, nature trails, historical tours, golf courses,
tennis courts, and a variety of playing fields.
The excitement and flavor of Manhattan are only a brief ferryboat ride
across the Hudson River channel, or a short drive over the
Verrazano-Narrows Bridge, while the Jersey Shore is just a few hours
away via Staten Island's three New Jersey crossings: the Goethals
Bridge, the Bayonne Bridge and the Outerbridge Crossing. You'll enjoy
living in Staten Island and working at Richmond University Medical
Center.
