About Stony Brook Medicine
As an academic health center, we at Stony Brook are all about ideas.
Creating them. Nurturing them. Protecting them. Challenging them. Improving them. Teaching them to others.
And most importantly, delivering them to patients and their families – sooner, smarter and better.
Whether that’s in a new treatment protocol, best practices, a bright new researcher we’ve recruited from another institution, the convenience of an outpatient clinic, or simply a more user friendly way to access our medical care. Ideas drive us, they thrive here, and we are committed to bringing more of them to our patients than anyone else.
Remember: Stony Brook Medicine is not a place. You can’t go “to” Stony Brook Medicine. It’s not a building you can walk into. It’s our shared medical enterprise, encompassing teaching, patient care and research. When you need a geographic reference, be sure to use the name of the specific building: for example, Stony Brook University Hospital, Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital and Stony Brook Children’s Hospital.
About Stony Brook Children’s Hospital
We consider Stony Brook Children’s to be our major sub-brand, as a second hospital devoted especially to children.
But just as children are not small adults, Stony Brook Children’s is not a pediatric version of the Stony Brook Medicine brand. Far from it. Like kids themselves, it has its own personality, voice and tone.
