Capital Campaigns

The Campaign for Southampton Hospital: A Bridge to the Future

Something important is happening at Southampton Hospital. From Westhampton to Montauk, people are recognizing that their hospital has charted a new course. Strong leadership, financial stability, dynamic new programs, favorable patient satisfaction feedback and innovative partnerships with physicians and other health care providers have strengthened our capacity to provide high quality, compassionate care. Today, we are poised to embark upon a new era of health care for residents and visitors throughout the East End.

Building Upon 100 Years of Healing

From the vantage point of Southampton Hospital’s Centennial, celebrate our legacy and plan for the future. One hundred years since its founding, much has changed, in both the complexities of the community and the way that health care is delivered. Keeping people well parallels our need to treat the injured and the ill. Acquiring the most modern equipment and medical technology strengthens our ability to attract and retain the most highly qualified physicians. Specialized care for women and families must be accessible in a convenient and comprehensive setting. All of this, driven by the commitment and support of our friends and benefactors, will define the Southampton Hospital of the next century.

Meeting A Higher Standard

Southampton Hospital recently received the ranking of Distinguished Hospital for Patient Safety by HealthGrades, an independent auditor of hospitals, among only 7 hospitals in New York State and 249 nationwide to have been singled out for this rating. It is a reflection of the value placed on exceptional and compassionate patient care throughout the Hospital.

But merely to maintain the status quo would mean inevitably to fall behind. That is why Southampton Hospital has undertaken a process of examining all of its programs, services and leadership structures. It is vital to address some priority concerns as soon as possible, such as upgrading emergency services and completing new clinical centers. At the same time, the Hospital seeks to successfully create a long-term, comprehensive healthcare delivery program for the future, both within the hospital walls and in satellite programs to serve our surrounding communities.

In order to build a bridge to a new healthcare future for the East End, Southampton Hospital is embarking on a capital campaign. Funding to address the vital needs identified below will provide a solid foundation upon which the Hospital for the next century will ultimately be created.
