Stony Brook Southampton Hospital is recognized by the NYS Department of Health as a provisional Level III adult trauma center, the first one on Long Island’s East End.  This designation enables the Hospital to provide care to the most critically injured patients.  During the summer season when the regional population swells, it is even more critically important that trauma care be accessible close by.  Faster treatment for trauma patients can mean the difference between life and death, so support for this essential service is vital
