Honoring Physician Excellence
National Doctors’ Day is an opportunity for us to celebrate and pay tribute to the physicians who have changed our lives for the better and recognize the essential care that they provide. At Stony Brook Medicine, that care is delivered every day by more than 1,400 talented and dedicated physicians.
We are enormously grateful to our physicians for their unwavering commitment to our patients, their efforts in leading dynamic medical teams and their professionalism all year long. We send our sincere thanks to our Stony Brook Medicine physicians, today and every day, for their dedication, expertise and compassion to care for the patients and communities we serve — our lives are all the better for it.
