NEW YORK (AP) - New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is delivering the first federal aid since Superstorm Sandy hit his state - more than $114 million for New York University Langone Medical Center and $40 million to help remove debris on Long Island.

Cuomo visited the 1,000-bed hospital on Manhattan's East Side on Sunday.

It was flooded during the storm and lost power, and more than 200 patients had to be evacuated.

Full services at the hospital will not reopen until January. Earlier Sunday, the governor visited Long Beach off Long Island's south shore, where the storm wiped out roads, beaches and homes. Long Beach is getting more than $24 million.

Almost $16 million goes to Nassau County Public Works.
