The Women's Sports Medicine Center, the first of its kind in Suffolk County, is a division of the award-winning Department of Orthopaedics at Stony Brook University Hospital. The center focuses on treating and preventing sports-, performance- and exercise-related injuries among girls and women through a multidisciplinary approach utilizing the expertise of our mostly female staff of physicians, many of whom were athletes themselves.
