Oceanside, NY – In recognition of their leadership, community involvement and generosity, two Long
Island real estate executives - Mr. Matthew Whalen and Mr. Joel Schneider - have been named co-honorees of
South Nassau Communities Hospital’s 34th Annual Golf Outing to be held Monday, May 21 on three courses.
The hospital’s annual golf outing will take place at three of Long Island’s most prestigious and
challenging venues: The Seawane Club, Hewlett Harbor; Rockway Hunting Club, Lawrence; and Rockville Links
Club, Rockville Centre. All net proceeds will benefit expansion of the hospital’s Emergency Department in
Oceanside, which currently serves 70,000 patients a year in a space built for 35,000 patient visits.
Mr. Whalen, a Garden City resident, serves as senior vice president of development at AvalonBay. He is
responsible for leading AvalonBay’s development and acquisition activity in both the Long Island and
Connecticut real estate markets. He has over 30 years of experience in the real estate business and has worked in
many different sectors, including multifamily, office, industrial, hospitality and single family. Mr. Schneider, of
Hewlett Bay Park, is a South Nassau board member and founder, president and CEO of Joel Schneider
Construction Corp. (JSCC), Joel Schneider Management Corp. (JSMC), and J. Schneider Group, LTD (The

2. Schneider Group). He also serves as president of Carolina Building and Management Corp., which is a
developer/owner of multifamily residential properties throughout the Northeast. His firms have successfully
completed dozens of projects during the last quarter of a century in business, including helping to restore
properties that were damaged during Superstorm Sandy.
“Matt and Joel are both visionary developers whose efforts have improved the quality of life and
availability of housing in the communities we serve,” said South Nassau’s President and CEO, Richard J.
Murphy. “At the same time, they are also known for their altruism, generosity and community-minded spirit. We
are very grateful that they have agreed to help the hospital by lending their reputations and expertise to the
success of our golf outing.”
Golf outing co-chairs Tony Cancellieri, Vice Chairman of South Nassau’s board of directors and Jeffrey
Greenfield, a member of South Nassau’s Advisory Board and managing member, NGL Group, LLC, attribute the
ongoing popularity of the outing to its mission of raising funds for the South Nassau Emergency Department
(ED) Expansion Campaign. The campaign has already raised more than $7 million toward its $10 million goal.
More than 40 business and civic leaders also have agreed to serve on the hospital’s golf committee. Many
local businesses support the outing through their sponsorships. Last year’s golf outing was expanded to three
courses for the first time in the history of the event, and raised the most funds in the history of the event,
grossing $443,595 and netting $290,074.
In late 2017, the first phase of the expansion was completed with the opening of a $4.5 million, 10-bed
annex that features a lay-out and design specifically to facilitate communication between patients, visitors and
emergency department staff. Nurses and doctors’ stations face semi-private treatment bays with open floor space
to allow for clear lines of sight. The treatment bays are equipped with monitored beds, cardiac monitors and
bedside laboratory testing capability and furnished with individual high-definition, flat-screen TVs. Additional
features of the annex include a dedicated waiting area for families and loved ones, rest rooms and access to free
Wi-Fi.
When the multi-phase expansion is completed, the Emergency Department will nearly double in size,
making it as long as a football field. It will also feature a larger waiting area as well as separate treatment areas
for pediatric and behavioral health patients. The current Emergency Department is projected to see some 80,000
patients annually in the years ahead.
Elected to the Long Island Builders Institute’s (LIBI) Board of Directors in 2006, Mr. Whalen quickly
ascended to LIBI’s president in 2009 and chairman in 2010. He has served on the Board of the Hofstra
University’s Institute of Real Estate and on the Executive Board of both the Long Island Real Estate Group and
the Real Estate Practitioners Institute. He also served as a member of the Next Generation Housing Committee,
the Board of Directors of the Community Development Corporation of Long Island and the Long Island Housing
Partnership. He currently serves on the board of directors of the Long Island Association and the Executive
Committee for the New York State Builders Association and is an active member of the Association for a Better
Long Island, the Urban Land Institute and Action Long Island.

3. A 1988 graduate of Princeton University where he received a B.A. in History, Mr. Whalen completed the
AMDP program at Harvard University Graduate School of Design in 2012.
Mr. Schneider is a long-time supporter of South Nassau. Presently, he serves as a voluntary member of
South Nassau’s Board of Directors and is chair of the Emergency Department expansion campaign and serves on
the hospital’s Buildings Committee. As chair of the expansion campaign, Mr. Schneider has helped generate
support for the Emergency Department Capital project.
Mr. Schneider has more than 35 years of experience in the commercial and residential real estate and
construction industries. He started his career as a laborer and bricklayer in his home state of Vermont and went
on to build one of Long Island’s most successful construction management firms.
Mr. Schneider also is as an elected member of the Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Village of
Hewlett Bay Park and serves on the Nassau County Police Foundation Center for Law Enforcement &
Intelligence Advisory Board. A founding member of the Boca Raton (FL) Police Foundation, Mr. Schneider
assists with fundraising efforts for Make-A-Wish Foundation and United Cerebral Palsy Association of Greater
Suffolk County, New York.
