For more than a decade, the Best of Nassau program has served as a powerful celebration of the businesses, services, and organizations that define life in Nassau County.

Now as the program continues to grow in scope and impact, NYU Langone Health has stepped forward as the presenting sponsor—bringing one of the region’s most respected healthcare systems into a partnership rooted in community connection, trust, and excellence.

From art galleries to miniature golf, from beloved neighborhood delis to trusted auto repair shops, the program highlights the diversity and quality of local enterprise.

When the votes are tallied, more than 200 winners earn the distinction of being named “Best of Nassau” in their respective categories. For these businesses, the recognition goes far beyond a title. Winners proudly promote their achievements across print, digital, social media, and in-store displays—amplifying their brands and reinforcing their connection to the communities they serve.

This year’s partnership with NYU Langone Health represents a natural alignment. Both organizations share a commitment to improving the lives of Nassau County residents—whether through exceptional healthcare or by supporting the local businesses that keep communities thriving.

NYU Langone Health shared the organization’s perspective on joining the program.“At NYU Langone Health, we believe that strong communities are built on trusted relationships—between neighbors, businesses, and institutions that serve them, a spokesperson said . “Best of Nassau is a powerful expression of those connections, driven by the voices of the people who live and work here. We are proud to be the presenting sponsor of a program that celebrates excellence at every level and helps strengthen the fabric of Nassau County.”

For Josh Schneps, CEO of Schneps Media, the partnership marks an exciting new chapter for the program.

“We are incredibly proud to welcome NYU Langone Health as the presenting sponsor of Best of Nassau,”said Schneps.“Their reputation for excellence, innovation, and community care makes them an ideal partner for a program that is all about recognizing the very best our region has to offer. Together we are elevating the impact of Best of Nassau and continuing to shine a spotlight on the businesses that make Nassau County such a vibrant place to live and work.”

As Best of Nassau enters its next phase, the addition of NYU Langone Health underscores the program’s continued growth and relevance. By bringing together a leading healthcare institution and a trusted local media platform, this partnership not only celebrates excellence—but helps inspire it.

From neighborhood staples to emerging favorites, Best of Nassau remains a testament to the power of local pride—and with NYU Langone Health now leading the way as presenting sponsor, its impact is set to reach even greater heights.
