Smithtown's St. Catherine Of Siena Hospital Unveils $1M Emergency Department Renovation

SMITHTOWN, NY — Catholic Health’s St. Catherine of Siena Hospital cut the ribbon on its $1 million Emergency Department (ED) renovation on Monday, the hospital announced.

St. Catherine treats roughly 24K patients every year, according to the hospital.

"Those who come to St. Catherine are provided prompt, effective emergency care at the highest level, whether they enter our ED as walk-ins or via ambulance," the hospital wrote in a statement.

The $1 million renovation includes new treatment bays, as well as best-in-class healthcare technologies, a large and "very comfortable" ED waiting room, and an all-new registration and triage suite focused on efficiency. The ED renovation also includes a new ambulance bay that will help expedite patient transfers and facilitate the movement from EMS into its state-of-the-art emergency department.

Most recently, cardiovascular services of St. Francis Heart Center are now on premises, working
hand-in-hand with the hospital’s emergency care team.

"The hospital’s ED renovation will greatly enhance patient experience and allow for seamless
emergency department medical care," said St. Catherine of Siena Hospital President Declan
Doyle in a news release.

The residents of Smithtown and surrounding areas should feel confident in knowing that they will receive top-notch emergency care at St. Catherine’s."

The event was attended by Catholic Health executive leadership, hospital staff, as well as local elected officials and fire departments.
