Investing in Our Future:

The Campaign for Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital

At the Foundation, it is our responsibility to raise funds to help maintain the hospital’s buildings and infrastructure and add new structures when the need arises. If we do our job well, then the trust you place in us is well spent. For generations, and more recently with the commitment of the Foundation’s dedicated assistance, the hospital has been able to provide the North Fork and Shelter Island communities with outstanding care in a loving, compassionate and family-centered environment for the past 118 years.

Hospitals operate 365 days a year, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. At Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital (SBELIH), we have been operating on this schedule for over 100 years. This places a great burden on our facility.

In order to maintain the high level of quality care that has become our hallmark and meet the unprecedented challenges of the future, we must upgrade our facilities to help our staff provide the highest quality of care to you.

That is why we are embarking on an ambitious philanthropic campaign…

The Nursing Advancement and Engagement Fund

Nurses are the cornerstone of great healthcare. At Stony Brook Eastern Long Island Hospital, we want to see our nurses not only maintain their competencies but expand their expertise. Your support of the Nursing Advancement and Engagement Fund will help nurses pursue certifications in specialty areas such as emergency medicine, operating room and behavioral health to attend educational courses and conferences. Today’s nurses are deeply interested in actively improving their profession, and the Fund will provide in-demand opportunities for them to grow while helping attract and retain the most skilled and committed nurses in the region.

A <span>Gift</span> from the Heart

The Physician Recruitment and Retention Fund

When you give from the heart, you know you’ve changed — even saved — a life. But a gift to the Foundation is also a smart investment in our community. Quality of life, property values and community spirit thrive when a region boasts a comprehensive medical center offering innovative technology, caring medical staff, and the most modern and effective treatments, facilities and services. As a privately supported 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, the Eastern Long Island Hospital Foundation relies on you to provide all this and more to our community. Your tax-deductible gifts are essential in the lives of our neighbors.
