Stony Brook Medicine, Southampton Hospital Association, and the Southampton Hospital Foundation held a special ribbon-cutting ceremony on Saturday, April 5, to celebrate the late spring opening of the Stony Brook East Hampton Emergency Department. The East Hampton Emergency Department is an off-campus extension of Stony Brook Southampton Hospital’s ED.

The Stony Brook East Hampton Emergency Department will open in late spring and receive patients at 400 Pantigo Place in East Hampton.
