Stony Brook University broke ground Wednesday on Stony Brook Children's Hospital, a 10-story structure adjacent to the main hospital.
The school on Wednesday began pouring the foundation for the hospital being built with $53 million in state funds and nearly $20 million in contributions from hundreds of donors.
Stony Brook admits 7,000 children and adolescents to the children's hospital, which currently is included within the main hospital.
Its children's hospital has more than 140 full-time pediatric physicians and surgeons in 30 specialties and 200 pediatric faculty members.
The new building will include a pediatric intensive care unit, adolescent unit, procedure suite, hematology/oncology unit and medical/surgical units.
