Two facilities, one scandal
The scandal encompasses both the Sleep Disorders Center and STARS Rehabilitation at Northwell’s Community Drive location. Here’s what distinguishes them and why both matter:
Sleep Disorders Center: Focuses on diagnosing and treating sleep issues. Patients often stay overnight for observation. Restrooms and changing areas are integral to the program.
STARS Rehabilitation: Offers sports therapy and rehabilitative services. Patients may change clothes for therapy sessions. Its proximity to the Sleep Disorders Center allowed the same technician to access both facilities.
A timeline of key events
Why patients should care
Different experiences, same violation. Whether you were staying overnight for sleep testing or doing physical therapy after an injury, the hidden cameras treated all visitors the same. Anyone who used the restrooms or changing areas could have been filmed.
Broad eligibility. If you visited either facility between April 2022 and August 2024 and used the bathroom or changing room, you may qualify for a claim—even if you never received a letter.

Questions patients often ask
“Were minors filmed?” – Yes. Prosecutors said the hidden cameras recorded minors.
“Do I need proof I was filmed?” – Lawyers can help establish you were present during the relevant time and used the facilities.
“Will my identity be public?” – Victims can often proceed under pseudonyms to protect their privacy.
