At Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital (SBELIH), our mission remains clear: to deliver the best outcomes for every patient. Over the past year, 2025 has marked continued investment in the health and well-being of the North Fork and Shelter Island communities we proudly serve.
For 120 years, SBELIH has stood as a trusted healthcare provider and a vital economic engine. We are the largest employer on the North Fork with more than 420 staff members, contributing over $25 million annually to the local economy.
We continue to strengthen our role as a hub for advanced care in the region. Our Advanced Primary and Specialty Care offices in Mattituck and the Center for Well-Being at Peconic Landing remain vital points of access for a wide range of specialty services, from pain management, Orthopedics, Family Medicine and pulmonary care to urology, and rheumatology. Our goal is to make it easier for our community to access high-quality care close to home—when and where they need it.
As part of Stony Brook Medicine, we benefit from being connected to one of the state’s leading academic health systems. Our behavioral health services remain a model of excellence, enriched by our growing psychiatry residency program, which welcomed its second class of residents this year.
This year, we also launched a major campaign to establish a certified Primary Stroke Center at SBELIH. With a $2.5 million goal, this initiative will enhance emergency stroke response on the East End, supported by investments in technology, staffing, and specialized training.
Thanks to the incredible support of our donors, the continued dedication of our Auxiliary, and our committed staff and medical professionals, SBELIH is well-positioned to meet the future needs of our patients and community.
We are more than a hospital—we are your hospital. Thank you for trusting us with your care and for helping us build a stronger, healthier future.
Warm regards,
Paul J. Connor III
