Senator John J. Flanagan (2nd Senate District) recently joined Stony Brook University Hospital as it officially opened its new Sleep Disorders Center in Smithtown. The center, located at 240 Middle Country Road, is a new multidisciplinary, state-of-the-art facility that is equipped with eight bedrooms and uses the newest technological advances for conducting sleep studies.

Senator Flanagan joined Richard N. Fine, M.D., Dean, Stony Brook University School of Medicine, as he cut the ribbon on the new facility.
