Highlights of the New Jenny & John Paulson Emergency Department
Stony Brook Southampton Hospital recognized the critical need to substantially expand to meet the growing need for emergency care. "We have all benefited from the services of the Hospital and we are lucky to have a talented and dedicated team of doctors and caregivers to attend to our emergency needs," comments John Paulson, whose $5 million gift enabled the new facility. “Southampton Hospital is essential to all of us living in the East End and we are honored to be part of its quest for excellence.” According to Hospital President and CEO Robert S. Chaloner, “The Paulsons’ generosity will have an extraordinary impact on our diagnostic and treatment capabilities and firmly establishes our ability to provide the best possible care to our communities.”
Victor Famulari Architect, PC created a new facility within mostly existing space, and construction took place without interruption of hospital services. The design includes:
- Separate weather-protected entrances for walk-in patients and ambulance arrivals for improved traffic flow and enhanced security
- A centralized trauma nurses’ station and triage area
- Expanded diagnostic and treatment areas
- A “fast track” area with four cubicles for less acute illnesses or injuries
- Two additional trauma rooms and an isolation room
- Two new patient treatment rooms are located adjacent to the centralized nurses’ station for observation and monitoring
- Seven new patient treatment cubicles
- Four separate exam rooms for orthopedic, gynecology and ophthalmology patients
- General waiting area can accommodate 30-35 people and will include pay phones and drinking fountain
- Bereavement room
- Support areas (storage, physician-on-call room, offices and closets) that enhance efficiency
Emergency Medical Services
Stony Brook Southampton Hospital is in partnership with the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) organizations throughout Long Island’s South Fork. These volunteer organizations perform a vital, often life-saving service to residents and visitors, providing advanced life support delivered by paramedics 24 hours a day. These trained and experienced volunteers often improve the outcome before a patient arrives at the Hospital’s Emergency Department.
