Stony Brook University Hospital has received a two-year Advanced Inpatient Diabetes certification from The Joint Commission after a comprehensive review of its diabetes program. Stony Brook becomes the seventh hospital in New York State and the first hospital in Suffolk County to achieve advanced certification.

Stony Brook University President Maurie McInnis has issued a message praising the “extraordinary response” of faculty and staff to the challenges faced during the coronavirus pandemic. The message reads as follows:
