Stony Brook Southampton Hospital has been verified a Level III trauma center. It is the first hospital on the East End to earn this designation from the American College of Surgeons, or ACS.
The designation is granted to those hospitals that can demonstrate that they provide prompt assessment, resuscitation, surgery, intensive care and stabilization of injured patients and emergency operations.
Designed to help hospitals enhance trauma care, the ACS evaluation process is guided through its verification, review and consultation program.
