Extraordinary Care When You Need It Most

Staying safe and healthy is everyone’s goal, but sometimes the unexpected occurs – a fall, a collision, an assault, a fire. The result may be serious injuries that require a level of care beyond the capabilities of the local emergency room. Fortunately for residents of Suffolk County, some of the finest trauma services in the State of New York — and indeed the nation — are close at hand. As the county’s only designated Regional (Level I) Trauma Center, Stony Brook University Hospital is ready at all times to handle complex and severe cases ranging from spinal cord damage to multiple fractures to traumatic brain injury (TBI).  Advanced care is available for all ages — infants, children and adults alike.
