Stony Brook Medicine, Southampton Hospital Association and the Southampton Hospital Foundation held a special ribbon-cutting ceremony on April 5 to celebrate the late spring opening of the Stony Brook East Hampton Emergency Department.

Once open, the Stony Brook East Hampton Emergency Department, an off-campus extension of Stony Brook Southampton Hospital’s Emergency Department, will be one of only a few free-standing emergency departments in New York State.

The much-needed Stony Brook East Hampton Emergency Department will open in late spring and receive patients at 400 Pantigo Place in East Hampton. The state-of-the-art, 22,000-square-foot, off-campus emergency facility will provide vital healthcare services to residents and visitors in the Town of East Hampton, including Amagansett, Montauk, Sag Harbor and Springs.

As part of the Stony Brook Medicine healthcare system, this off-campus facility was designed to provide essential care for those located on the farthest end of the South Fork. It will operate 24/7, 365 days a year, including holidays.

The Stony Brook East Hampton Emergency Department is equipped with advanced diagnostic technologies and life-saving treatments, including a dedicated resuscitation room; cardiac monitoring capabilities in every exam room; specialized fast-track treatment rooms for general, pediatric, obstetrics/gynecology and ophthalmology patients; two isolation rooms; a comprehensive imaging center, featuring advanced diagnostic technologies, including MRI, CT scan, Ultrasound and X-ray; an on-site ambulance for hospital transport; and eco-friendly innovations, including rooftop solar panels, a rain-catch garden and native plantings to reduce environmental impact.
