Southampton Hospital and Stony Brook University officials on Monday announced that the community hospital plans to join the Stony Brook system and replace its aging facility with a new, state-of-the-art building on the Stony Brook Southampton college campus.
Both sides hailed the moment as the dawning of a new era of regional health care on Long Island at a press conference on Monday at Southampton Hospital’s Parrish Memorial Hall.
The private, 125-bed hospital, built in Southampton Village in 1909, would join the Stony Brook Medicine health care system and provide care under Stony Brook University Hospital’s state operating license, according to the terms of a non-binding letter of intent that hospital and university officials have signed. Southampton Hospital and Stony Brook have been affiliated since 2008, but the new agreement is a... more

It will be good to have several more doctors from different specialties...and the fact that they can work together in a larger facility pulling together resources for high specialized treatments as well as maybe helping establish a trama center...
As for the ride there from Montauk...High fines for those who don't move to the side of the road when they HEAR a siren!!!(forget ...more about didn't see the lights!)
Except those of us who go to Stony Brook University Medical Center for anything except serious heart (Winthrop) or some types of cancers requiring high specialized treatment.
I don't understand why you would make such a sweeping and unfounded generalization.
Winthrop?
Further it should be noted that the Chief of Cardiology at St Francis recently moved to SUNY Stony Brook.
Toma Noku, below, if the story just broke last night, how could the Vilage Board have anything to say yet?And if it is a mattter of the hospital closing the doors and moving to another location outside of the village boarders. the Village Board has no say anyway.
Such a facility actually in Montauk should not be ruled out IMO, scale of opertions TBD.
Southampton Hospital could remain a satellite primary emergency room location, and could also perhaps morph into a nursing home and/or assisted living facility of some kind? A hospital ...more for rehabilitation similar to St. Charles in Port Jeff?
OK, how is this for an idea? In addition to the new hospital at the college in Shinnecock Hills, all new facilities should also be located right on the train tracks (of the PBR-TS -- "Peconic Bay Regional -- Transportation System" -- kind of a catchy acronym, right?)
This alignment of all medical facilities on the former-LIRR train tracks would permit new "Scooter Ambulance" mini-trains, which could travel from Montauk to Shinnecock Hills in about 20 minutes, after the rail bed is widened to 2-3 tracks, with priority switching for Express Trains to barrel on through, like the old Cannonball on Friday nights.
"All Aboard" the PBR-TS . . . . .
Vision!
I would guess that the value of the land alone in Southampton Village will go a long way in building the new site.
1) The letter of intent calls for launching a Southampton Hospital led philanthropic campaign to raise funds to build a new state-of-the-art Southampton Hospital on Stony Brook University’s Southampton campus.
NO PUBLIC FUNDS TO BUILD A NEW HOSPITAL!!
2) As the planned collaboration moves forward, Stony Brook and Southampton leadership will comply with collective bargaining agreements with the public unions at Stony Brook University Hospital ...more and the private sector unions at Southampton Hospital. Southampton Hospital employees would maintain their status as private sector employees along with all of their collective bargaining rights.
SOUTHAMPTON HOSPITAL EMPLOYEES STAY SOUTHAMPTON HOSPITAL EMPLOYEES, THEY DO NOT BECOME STATE EMPLOYEES!!

1 Are there impact studies, Plans, site plans, or even a rendering of the new building?
2. Will the new hospital be able to support itself in the new healthcare enviroment?
3. With medicare and medicaid being saddled with 100 trillion in future expenses is the hospital projecting less income?
4.What is the back up plan for the new hospital if it can't pay it's bills? Will it ...more be shuttered like Southampton College? Are there projections of future income and expenses?
The reason I ask these questions is because if anyone read govt reports on the nearly 100 trillion of Medicare and medicaid future payouts the last thing they would do is invest in a hospital. Any intelligent person can see a 100 trillion dollar figure and see the medical community will be further squeezed. Hospitals are closing and working with skeleton staffs all over NY why does Southampton think they can buck the trend? I agree that the east end needs a better facility, but if things go bad the state of NY is in no position to take over any more hospitals. By the way Southampton is a great facility, and I don't believe the nonsense you have to travel west for good medical treatment.
After the debate last night it's pretty clear doctors, and hospitals will receive even less for their work. Some doctors receive less than 10 dolars for an office visit from medicaid. How do these ridiculous numbers amount too paying for a 250 million dollar project?
You asked;
1 Are there impact studies, Plans, site plans, or even a rendering of the new building?
Just to answer part of that - the project would not be subject to any Town SEQRA (environmental) studies/SEQRA review/zoning because it's a state project on state land.
Of course, what can you ...more expect from someone who sends out a pink mailer -- a blatant political appeal on the people's tab -- promoting breast cancer awareness, when he hasn't exactly been in the forefront on women's issues? Is Ken doing penance or just a last-minute face lift for the campaign?
If you did a little searching the web, as I just did, you could read for yourself that everything you just stated is the opposite of the truth.
As for the great news about ...more the move for the hospital, once again, ask the hospital board members and administration about the assistance provided by LaValle and Theile to make it happen.
Bridget has plenty of areas of philosophical disagreement with LaValle it is a shame you choose to attack him on an issue where you are factually just plain wrong. Now perhaps you are taking lessons on truth fabrication from the Romney campaign, which would make your comments understandable.
One of the advantages having Senator LaValle representing us in the Senate is his senority and abiltiy to(pardon the non-kosher reference) bring home the bacon on issues like this.
There is no question, but that, the hospital is in need of more than just a face lifting and we should all(Dems, Reps and all in between) be thankful for the work of both of our state representatives.
As for hospital economcs, medicine is changing and I would anticipate the new building will be. Well equipt for the new model(s) of health care.
So, George, please pick your areas of criticism more carefully. As a life lng Democrat, I am appalled by the consistency of your factually deprived statements. I expect more from an officer of the town Democratic Committee. Start with telling the truth and criticizing opposing candidates on true philosophcal differences. Do that and your comments here might start to acquire some more credibility.
Anyone thinking about building a new hospital is either drunk or has been on mars for the last four years. Health care costs are going too put this country into poverty, and building a 250 million ...more dollar facility will only raise costs. People have had enough of these politicians giving away money too look like heros too get re elected. La Valle, Thiele, Bishop all need too go they are of differant parties but all have one thing in common. They like too spend money that doesn't exist.
Probably NOTHING.....That is seeing how it has not been there for the last two years. It had to move when the college closed.
on one sixth of an acre? I wonder. And what about Paulson's new emergency room for which he gave $5 million? Is it going to be bulldozed in five years?
