Talks between Southampton Hospital and Stony Brook University about a potential move of the hospital to the Stony Brook Southampton campus have deepened somewhat over the past few months, with the main players informally discussing what it would be like to have the hospital occupy a corner of the college campus.

Such a move also could lead to expanding the school’s curriculum to offer graduate-level courses in fields such as health information technology or bioethics, a field of study concerned with the ethics and philosophical implications of certain biological and medical procedures, such as organ transplants, for example.

But the exact arrangement of such a hospital-university partnership that protects the interests of both sides, as well as budgeting issues, are among those that remain to be hashed out.

Hmmm I guess I've been in a cave--first I've heard of this. Move the hospital out of the village, to the college...seems this would entail quite a bit of new construction on environmentally delicate land, adjacent to numerous archeologically sensitive sites. With the academic side of this coin being to offer a medical ethics curriculum? Guess they are planning to keep talking for a decade or two-it will certainly take at least that long to bring this one to fruition.
