North Shore-LIJ says its $300 million investment in its two Katz maternity facilities is paying off. The 88-bed Katz Women’s Hospital at Long Island Jewish Medical Center in New Hyde Park delivered 5,879 babies from its opening day, Jan. 25, 2012, through Dec. 31. That was 18% more than LIJ’s total for 2011. North Shore University Hospital’s Katz facility in Manhasset saw a 5% rise in births in 2012, to 6,343.
