Patient Condition Information

Our top priority at PBMC is caring for our patients and allowing them to heal. With that in mind, we ask that family members and friends refrain from calling the Nursing Units for patient information. Protecting patients' confidentiality and privacy is essential, and, furthermore, it is the law. We understand your concern about your family member or friend. Staff is not permitted to reveal information about a patient's condition over the phone.

Main Entrance Relocation

With construction underway for the new Center for Advanced Surgical Services in Roanoke Ave parking lot on the hospital side, PBMC’s main entrance is temporarily closed and has been relocated to Peconic Bay Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center’s entrance on the east side of facility. Patients and visitors should enter through the Rte 58 driveway (across from KFC) and park in the lots located behind the hospital.

The medical center’s front lobby and The Bay Shop will remain open and used as a family waiting area throughout the construction.

Visiting Hours

We ask that the number of visitors be limited to two at a time per patient.  Children under 14 are not allowed to visit patient rooms, with the exception of Maternity, Pediatrics and the Skilled Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, where they must be accompanied by an adult.

Flowers and Gifts

Flowers and gifts from friends and relatives are always a wonderful surprise for patients. However, due to hospital safety regulations, latex helium balloons are not permitted in the Hospital. Mylar balloons are permitted. Flowers, plants or mylar balloons may not be taken to the Intensive Care Unit.

Peconic Bay Medical Center Auxiliary Volunteers operate the Hospital Gift Shop, located in the Main Lobby. The Gift Shop is stocked with stuffed animals, jewelry items, cards, baby gifts, personal items, candy, snacks, and flowers. Proceeds from Gift Shop sales benefit the Hospital through Auxiliary donations. The Gift Shop is open everyday from 9 a.m. – 4 p.m. as well as some evenings until 8 p.m.

Visitor Meals & Snacks

Visitors may purchase meals in the Hospital Cafeteria on the first floor. The Gift Shop, located off the Main Lobby, sells candy, cookies and other snacks.

Snacks also may be purchased at vending machines located either in the Cafeteria or next to the front desk on the first floor.
