Suffolk County’s children have a high incidence of chronic childhood illnesses that require a full continuum of specialty care. And before Stony Brook Children's opened, thousands of those children had to seek advanced medical care   far from the comfortable familiarity of their home, family and friends. And research shows that the more a child's family is involved with their care, the better the outcomes.  But we can't do it alone. Your support means we can continue to meet the growing demand in our pediatric emergency department and for the best ideas in medicine, for kids.

Please support excellence in pediatric patient care at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital now .

Medicine never stands still. And the place where it progresses fastest is at an academic medical center.

As part of an academic medical center, Stony Brook Children's not only provides the latest in pediatric care, it also advances the practice of pediatric medicine. Our pioneering research — carried in world-class research facilities under the direction of expert faculty — includes drug and device development, genetic studies, and extensive access to clinical trials, including international multi-site studies.

We are the only continuously NIH-funded pediatric and obstetric site providing HIV/AIDS clinical trials in Suffolk County since 1992. We also carry out groundbreaking studies on the best treatments for children with kidney disease, cystic fibrosis, and inborn errors of metabolism, as well as studies on the development of literacy. And our neonatologists have an extensive research program devoted to understanding fetal lung development.

Please support research excellence at Stony Brook Children’s Hospital now.
