Stony Brook Eastern Long Island strives to be the best community teaching hospital in New York State. To achieve this, we must provide our patients with the best quality of care, safety and service. Should a patient or their loved ones have any questions or concerns they should speak to the physician(s) and/or nurse(s) who are providing their care. If a patient has taken this action and is still not satisfied, he or she should ask to speak to a Nurse Manager or Supervisor.
If preferred, patients and their loved ones may contact the Quality Services Department to discuss their concerns at 631- 477-5561
