Coronary artery disease is one of the most common heart conditions — and when left untreated, it can become life-threatening. 🫀

Dr. Travis Bench is here to share what you need to know, from recognizing risk factors to understanding your treatment options.

From comprehensive diagnostic testing and office visits with our cardiology team, to emergency intervention in the only cardiac cath lab on the South Fork, to cardiac rehabilitation after a major event — we provide a full spectrum of heart care, close to home.

Because the heartbeat of the East End is our community — and we’re here to keep it strong. 💪

A full circle moment ❤️ 🩺 Dr. Gunjan Joshi, a native Long Islander and Interventional Cardiologist, is proud to be back where it all began — at the hospital that helped shape him into the physician he is today.

After completing his residency in Internal Medicine at SBSH, Dr. Joshi went on to further his training with a fellowship in interventional cardiology. Now, he has returned to serve the community that played such an important role in his journey.

Now seeing patients in Southampton and Hampton Bays, Dr. Joshi is part of the dedicated SBSH Cardiac Team — delivering advanced, compassionate cardiac care right here on the East End. We’re proud to welcome him back. 🫀💪

Meet Kelly Curry, RN, from the Cardiac Rehab team at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital 🫀🩺 Kelly is one of the dedicated professionals helping patients heal and move forward with confidence after a major cardiac event.

🔺What drew you to a career in nursing, especially in cardiac rehab?

“I worked as an aide in the CCU/ICU during COVID, and seeing those nurses in action throughout the pandemic inspired me to return to nursing school. At the time, I was already working as a physical therapist assistant in the rehab department-in outpatient PT and cardiac rehab-so transitioning from one scope of care to the other felt like a natural next step.”

🔺What is the most rewarding part of what you do?

“We’re part of helping patients build a “new normal” after a cardiac event, and it’s so rewarding to see them reach real, measurable goals-especially when you know the effort they’re putting in to regain their prior level of function.”

🔺In honor of Heart Month, what’s one heart-healthy tip you can share with the East End community?

“A strong defense is the best offense. Don’t put off a healthier lifestyle-start small, start now, before it has a chance to become urgent down the road.”

This Cardiac Rehab Week, we’re celebrating the team that helps mend hearts — guiding patients as they get back to doing the things they love.
