Critical care tower

PBMC needs to add additional ambulance bays to accommodate the increased number of ambulances bringing patients to the Riverhead hospital since its designation as a level-three trauma center and the opening of a cardiac catheterization lab this year, PBMC president and CEO Andrew Mitchell said.

Peconic Bay Medical Center/Northwell Health broke ground Wednesday on its $60 million, three-story critical care tower that will include a comprehensive cardiac care center offering lifesaving interventional cardiac procedures not currently available anywhere on the East End.
