Based on user feedback, the patient portal has been upgraded to make it more user-friendly - with easy-to-spot icons leading to all the most important functions you need.

Current portal users will automatically be redirected to the new site and can still use any bookmarks or favorites they've created. iPhone and Android (version 13) users will be able to find the new app in the app stores by searching for “Stony Brook Med Patient Portal.” All login credentials will remain the same.
