Commenting Jean

“Stony
Brook
Southampton
Hospital is
the only
hospital on
the East End
and provides
first class
healthcare
services to
our
community.
It also
operates the
only
Emergency
Department
on the South
Fork and
treats all
patients,
24/7, 365
days of the
year. The
hospital is
essential
for all
visitors and
residents of
the East End
of Long
Island, no
one wants to
live in a
community
without
access to
excellent
healthcare.
“That is
why, my
husband
Marty and I
are so
pleased to
be able to
support the
hospital in
every way we
can. The
Summer Party
is the
hospital’s
biggest
fundraiser,
and all
proceeds go
to the
Emergency
Department,
we hope that
everyone who
can, buys a
table and
supports the
hospital in
this way.”
