A 23,000-square-foot Stony Brook freestanding emergency department opened at 400 Pantigo Place, East Hampton around spring 2025, operating 24/7/365 with state-of-the-art radiology and imaging -- explicitly serving East Hampton, Amagansett, Montauk, Sag Harbor, and Springs.
Stony Brook Southampton Hospital: the primary regional hospital for higher-acuity care
A New York State-designated Primary Stroke Center, Level I Perinatal Center, and the site of the East End's first Level III trauma center, admitting 6,000+ patients annually with approximately 25,000 ED visits/year -- roughly half during the summer season alone.
A genuinely relevant consideration given the village's decisively elevated retiree share
Given East Hampton village's real, decisively elevated 65-plus population share (approximately 36.3%), direct in-village emergency-care access is a genuinely significant relocation advantage here relative to Hamptons markets without a comparable facility.
