The new health center will offer expanded primary and preventative medical and dental services for the more than 3,500 residents of Long Island’s east end. “This new facility will be an outstanding addition to our health care system, and will further enhance our ability to provide everyone on the South Fork with comprehensive medical and dental care, regardless of insurance status or ability to pay,” said Anne Kauffman Nolon, MPH, President and CEO of HRHCare. “We would specifically like to thank our partners, Southampton Hospital and Stony Brook University Medical Center, which have been instrumental in this process, and we are excited to build out our unique teaching program together.” The state-of-the-art health center is a dramatic renovation on the campus of Southampton Hospital, and will feature new programs including a family practice, women’s health services and dental services. The facility will also serve as a family residency program, which is a unique collaborative effort between HRHCare, Southampton Hospital and Stony Brook University Medical Center.
