CONTRIBUTIONS to ELIH

Your Gift Makes the Difference As a not-for-profit medical center, Eastern Long Island Hospital depends on contributions from the community, corporations, and private foundations to underwrite the advent and expansion of needed healthcare services, such as the NEW Emergency Department. Individual philanthropic contributions are transformed into gifts of rescue for a child in emergency need, a new lease on life for a heart patient, compassionate care for a patient recovering from cancer; these are just some of the many miracles that happen every day at
Eastern Long Island Hospital. ELIH serves the North Fork of Long Island and Shelter Island quality healthcare and heavily relies on the benevolence of friends in the community, which continues to play an instrumental role in all that we have been able to accomplish.
Thanks to the support of the community combined with significant corporate contributions, Emergency Medicine at ELIH sets a new standard of Emergency Care in our community.

The recently redone Emergency Department was rebuilt to streamline patient comfort and accessibility on all levels. It is now a spacious 4,512 square feet, nine-bed, state-of-the-art facility. Incorporated into the new design is a dedicated trauma and chest pain center, decontamination chamber and isolation suite, pediatric/obstetric room and patient nourishment center, in addition to dedicated triage, waiting, reception and outpatient service areas for diagnostic testing.
