Stony Brook Hospital which officially changed its name in 2006 to Stony Brook University Medical Center to reflect its diversity of both inpatient and outpatient medical care, has been providing care, research, education and community service since 1980. Every year the center provides services to more than a half million patients and it's one of the largest hospitals on Long Island. Construction on the complex began in 1976 and three buildings were created: the Hospital, the Clinical Sciences Tower and the Basic Sciences Health Tower. The Health Sciences Center houses many research laboratories and classrooms.
