Dr. Sultan’s daughter donates grief-support packages to Peconic Bay Medical Center
Elizabeth Sultan brought Peter's Packages to Peconic Bay Medical Center, giving grief-support care packages to families after a loss and honoring her father, Dr. Peter Sultan.
Elizabeth Sultan delivered Peter's Packages to Peconic Bay Medical Center on July 14, bringing thoughtfully curated grief-support care packages to patients and families facing the loss of a loved one. PBMC said it was honored to welcome the donation at a special event centered on comfort for people going through bereavement.
The gift was made in memory of Dr. Peter Sultan, the longtime orthopedic surgeon who served Peconic Bay Medical Center for more than 20 years. Northwell Health remembered him as a beloved orthopedic surgeon, mentor and father, and RiverheadLOCAL reported that he died suddenly during the Jamesport triathlon in 2025. The donation came about a year after that death, turning a family loss into a local act of support for other Suffolk families.
At PBMC, the packages were aimed at people moving through one of the hardest moments a hospital can see: the immediate aftermath of losing a loved one. The hospital described them as thoughtfully curated care packages for patients and families experiencing that loss, and the name Peter's Packages tied the effort directly to Dr. Sultan's memory. In a county where Peconic Bay Medical Center is one of the East End's central health institutions, the donation landed as a practical gesture as much as a memorial.
PBMC said the effort helps continue Dr. Sultan's legacy of compassion by caring for the community one act of kindness at a time. For Suffolk families, the message was local and immediate: bereavement support can take a tangible form inside the hospital, and Elizabeth Sultan's tribute extended her father's years of service into a new kind of care for Riverhead and the broader East End.
