Clinical Programs Accepting Gifts
All gifts to Stony Brook University can be made for unrestricted use, allowing SBUH to use the funds where they are needed most. Gifts may also be designated for a specific program or service. Below is a list of clinical programs for which you may make a targeted donation:
Heart Center
Stony Brook University Medical Center's Heart Center combines life-saving medical and surgical techniques with methods to deliver better care to our patients. Stony Brook operates the only heart center on Long Island that offers patients a unique patient-focused approach to care that constitutes a major improvement over the traditional academic practice of separating the services of cardiac surgeon and cardiologist. Recognizing heart disease as the nation's number on killer, Stony Brook is the only hospital in Suffolk County that performs highly specialized cardiology procedures, such as advanced interventional, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for life-threatening heart problems afflicting a wide range of patients.
Stony Brook University Cancer Center
The mission statement of the Stony Brook University Cancer Center is to establish a multidisciplinary, comprehensive cancer center and community network for the entire region; provide the best clinical care for patients and their families; conduct world-class basic research on the molecular features of cancer; and conduct translational research research to move the newest advances in research to the patient bedside. We anticipate great progress in creating new methods for the early detection of cancer and finding new ways to treat it. With the opening of the Cancer Center, Long Islanders will no longer have to leave the Island to find comprehensive and highly advanced cancer care: they will find the best possible care in the world already close to home at Stony Brook. For additional information, visit the Stony Brook University Cancer Center web site.
Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Stony Brook University Medical Center is the only provider of tertiary/quaternary care services for neonatal and premature infants in Suffolk County. Many babies admitted to our specially equipped neonatal intensive care unit are born prematurely and need careful observation and monitoring. Stony Brook's neonatologists and specially trained nurses work closely with cardiologists, surgeons, and other University Medical Center specialists to guide these and other seriously ill babies along the path to a speedy and full recovery.
Burn Center
Stony Brook University Medical Center is the home of Suffolk County's only designated Burn Center, which provides the most sophisticated, compassionate care to both adults and children with major burns. Our Burn Center is an eight-bed unit designed and equipped to meet the special needs of burn patients. Through its commitment to the local community, the Burn Center has gained the enthusiastic backing of Suffolk's volunteer firefighters, who created the Volunteer Firefighters Burn Center Fund to help support special clinical and research initiatives. One such initiative led to the creation of our Living Skin Bank which provides a unique clinical resource for wound dressings, that is, novel skin grafts made of cultured epithelial cells taken from the patient's own healthy skin.
Emergency Room
As Suffolk County's only Regional Level 1 Trauma Center, helicopter and ground transports deliver's most seriously injured and ill patients to University Medical Center. Our seven-bed shock trauma room is specifically designed for treating patients with problems ranging from multiple traumas to cardiogenic shock. The Emergency Department also serves as the county referral center for all psychiatric emergencies. For additional information, visit the Emergency Room web site.
