Southampton Hospital Association (SHA), Southampton Hospital Foundation (SHF) and the East Hampton Healthcare Foundation (EHHF) held a donor appreciation event at the site of the Stony Brook Medicine (SBM) East Hampton Emergency Department to celebrate raising $38 million in gifts thus far. The East Hampton Emergency Department will open in late 2023 and operate under the Stony Brook Medicine healthcare system which includes Stony Brook Southampton Hospital, Stony Brook University Hospital, Stony Brook Children’s Hospital, and Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital.
“Raising $38 million to date, is a remarkable feat as restrictions over the past two years imposed by the COVID pandemic thwarted traditional fundraising,” stated Jim Forbes, Vice Chair, Southampton Hospital Association and Chair of the East Hampton Emergency Department Campaign Committee, who enthusiastically confirmed, “Construction of the Stony Brook Medicine East Hampton Emergency Department will begin this summer.”
