Stony Brook University Hospital has been named one of America’s 100 Best Hospitals by Healthgrades each year since 2019.[7]
History
editIn November 2008, Stony Brook University Hospital and Southampton Hospital announced that the New York State had approved a comprehensive alliance between the two health care facilities to bring new and strengthened clinical services to the South Fork of Suffolk County.[8] Southampton Hospital was the third East End hospital (in addition to Peconic Bay Medical Center in Riverhead and Eastern Long Island Hospital in Greenport) to affiliate with SBUH.[9]
As of January 2015, Stony Brook University Hospital and Southampton Hospital can move forward with a proposed affiliation agreement following a unanimous vote at the State University of New York (SUNY) Board of Trustees meeting in Albany. The two hospitals have been formally affiliated since 2008, as recommended by the Berger Commission Report issued by New York State Department of Health in 2006.[10]
In June 2020, Stony Brook University Hospital was the site of a bomb threat when 33-year-old Robert Roden walked into the emergency room armed with three explosive devices, a pellet gun and a hatchet; an FBI search of his house discovered Roden's bedroom was booby-trapped with explosives and contained numerous AR-15s. Roden was charged with second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, second-degree criminal contempt, and two counts of third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance.[11][12]
About
editEducation
editThe Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University is responsible for the preclinical and clinical education of medical students (current enrollment: 450). As the only School of Medicine in the region, it offers excellent research and clinical opportunities and has attracted a faculty of national and international renown. There are 21 residency training programs active in the School of Medicine, comprising over 500 full-time residents. Many of these residents also provide care at other nearby hospitals, including the VA Hospital at Northport, Winthrop-University Hospital, Eastern Long Island Hospital, Peconic Bay Medical Center, and Southampton Hospital.
On the same campus as the hospital are the Schools of the Health Sciences Center which consist of four professional schools: the School of Dental Medicine, Health Professions, Nursing and Social Welfare. These four schools offer professional education to over 3,000 students and conduct programs of research, service and continuing professional education. Professional, technical and laboratory resources support the academic activities of the students and faculty.
Awards
editThe hospital ranked nationally in two specialties on the 2021 U.S. News & World Report. The hospital ranked as #41 in Neurology and Neurosurgery, and #49 in orthopedics. The hospital also ranked as the 12th best in the state.[13]
Facilities
edit
Designed by noted Chicago architect Bertrand Goldberg, construction on the complex began in 1976, and the smallest building, the Basic Sciences Health Tower, was completed that year. Two years later, the Clinical Sciences Tower was completed. Finally, in 1980, the Hospital itself was built. The complex of three buildings is located on the "East Campus", and is separated from the rest of Stony Brook University by Nicolls Road. The buildings are 334 feet tall and have a dominating presence over the university skyline, and they can be seen from miles away across Suffolk County.[14]
In September 2008, SBUH opened Phase I of its first major renovation known as the Major Modernization Project. It was the first such renovation of the 28-year-old facility. It includes a new wing, which houses the Woman and Infants Center, an expanded Emergency Department and a Surgical Suite with an OR Pharmacy.[15]
Located a short walk away from SBUH is the Center for Outpatient Services at Stony Brook University, which opened its doors in March 2007. Service areas within the Center include The Imaging Center (which is home to a 40-slice positron emission tomography/computed tomography PET/CT camera), the Center for Pain Management, and the Outpatient Cancer Center, which includes the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Care Center, Medical Oncology, Pediatric Hematology/Oncology and Surgical Oncology. The new facility offers easy access, free parking and valet services, spacious and tranquil public areas and on-site food services.
A new Heart Center was opened inside the hospital in 2005, containing a new Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU), Cardiac Acute Care Unit (CACU), angioplasty suites (catheterization labs), and electrophysiology labs.
The Stony Brook College campus is also ranked as a top 100 university in the US by US News.
