History

In 1909, the Southampton Hospital Association bought the Hervey J. Topping house on the corner of Lewis Street and Meeting House Lane and planned to build the hospital on an adjoining lot. In 1911, Samuel Parrish donated on Old Town Road, stretching from Meeting House Lane to Herrick Road, where the present hospital opened in 1913 and still stands today. The plans for the original hospital building were donated by society architect T. Markoe Robertson, and were designed to be able to grow. Over the next few decades, the original facility was expanded with several wings and off-site buildings, including the Parrish Memorial Hall, Schenck Memorial Building, and Todd Nursing Home. The Audrey and Martin Gruss Heart & Stroke Center opened in 2015. As part of the hospital's merger with the Stony Brook Medicine health system, the Center gained a new cardiac catheterization laboratory, which is the first on South Fork. The Phillips Family Cancer Center opened in 2019. The facility contains South Fork's first radiation oncology unit. Southampton Hospital joined the Stony Brook Medicine health system in 2017, and was renamed Stony Brook Southampton Hospital. Stony Brook Southampton Hospital became a Level III trauma center in May 2021.Finn, Lisa
