University Hospital
As part of Stony Brook University, the Health Sciences Center is located at the
geographic midpoint of Long Island's North Shore. The Center, with the 504-bed
hospital, 350-bed skilled-nursing veterans' home, a dental center and affiliated
faculty practices, treats 28,000 inpatients and over 500,000 outpatients each year.
During the 2000-2001 academic year, some 2,450 students at various undergraduate,
graduate, and post-graduate levels were enrolled at Health Sciences Center Schools.
Graduate and undergraduate students are taught by a single faculty, many of whom
are nationally distinguished scholars and researchers. Over half of Stony Brook
University's annual nearly $1 billion operating budget is related to the
Health Sciences Center, including Stony Brook University Hospital. The Health
Sciences Center generates more than half of the $120 million in external
support to Stony Brook.
The discoveries made by Stony Brook basic and clinical researchers have
improved the quality of life of many Americans. Off-campus clinical facilities
and joint programs with other regional institutions enhance the extensive
services, expand research opportunities, and extend the outreach of the
Health Sciences Center. A central resource to the Health Sciences Center
is Stony Brook University Hospital which has been recognized as among the
top fifteen teaching hospitals in the country, and is Long Island's only
academic tertiary care hospital serving a regional population of over
two million.

Department. In addition, the Department provides consultation services
to inpatient and outpatient medical/surgical services of the hospital.
