We are identified as Centers of Excellence for Bariatric Surgery as well as 1st Trimester Antepartum Screening, and approved by the Commission on Cancer of the American College of Surgeons for our high-quality, comprehensive cancer programs - a distinction held by only 25% of hospitals treating cancer patients.

Sound Shore Medical Center clinical results on heart failure, pneumonia, heart attack, and surgical patients, as reported by the U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, reflect our care as better than the New York State and U.S. averages in many measures, and in a number the outcomes rank us in the top 10% of the hospitals in the country. We are home to the Jacee Lynn Cappelli Diabetes Center and the Elaine and Melvin Merians Diabetes Education and Conference Center.  Also on our campus is the Schaffer Extended Care Center, which provides 50 beds for short-term rehabilitation patients and 100 for long-term residents.
