Leadership Message

PJC Headshot

At Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital (SBELIH), we take our mission to provide the best outcome for every patient very seriously. And, over the past year, we’ve made great progress.

For 119 years, this hospital has stood as a vital part of the community. We provide healthcare to the North Fork and Shelter Island, we are the largest employer in the area providing more than 420 jobs, and have an impact of $25 million to the local economy every year. 

SBELIH continues to make strides to offer more services to our community. This year, our Advanced Primary and Specialty Care offices in Mattituck expanded to include spinal care/pain management, pulmonary medicine, and vascular surgery. The Center for Well-Being at Peconic Landing, open to the public, now offers urology services, primary care, as well as telehealth neurology and rheumatology. Stony Brook Medicine continues to recruit talented physicians and nurses to serve our patients, with more specialties in the works. We offer regular community outreach programs throughout the North Fork, which are great opportunities to learn about the latest and most relevant issues in healthcare.

Being part of Stony Brook Medicine allows us to be part of a major academic health system. Our acclaimed behavioral health programs have been enriched by a psychiatric residency program, with the first class graduating this year and five new residents from around the country who will join the program this summer.

Our loyal donors are more enthusiastic than ever, supplying generous gifts that enhance the services we are able to provide here at SBELIH. Our Auxiliary continues to break fundraising records and help both the hospital and the local community. Thanks to the amazing contributions of all our donors, we are able to ensure a continuation of excellent health care in the future.

It is our privilege and honor to provide you with comprehensive healthcare and ensure that patients have a positive experience at SBELIH. Here, all we do is all for you.
