Stony Brook Children’s will initially be located within Stony Brook University Hospital as plans are developed for a free-standing facility.
Margaret M. McGovern, MD, will lead the hospital as physician in chief and chair of the department of pediatrics.
“Stony Brook Children’s will build on our strong foundation in pediatric services and will be dedicated to help accommodate the unmet healthcare needs of the children in this region,” Steven L. Strongwater, MD, CEO of SBUH, said in the release. “As Long Island’s only university-based research hospital, we are uniquely positioned to provide this comprehensive care dedicated to the community’s youngest patients and their families while leading the way to new knowledge in children’s health. When this project is complete, we will have invested some $80 million in facilities, recruitment and programs.”
SBUH currently operates 100 pediatric beds with a faculty of more than 100 pediatric providers in 30 different specialties and more than 200 voluntary pediatric faculty members.
