The Port Jefferson market specifically
Both John T. Mather Memorial Hospital and St. Charles Hospital sit in this North Shore harbor village, an unusual concentration of acute care for a town this size, and the cross-Sound ferry adds a retiree draw not found elsewhere on this list.
Port Jefferson families often compare Smithtown or Mount Sinai, both close by, especially when a specific hospital-system affiliation (Catholic Health vs. Stony Brook Medicine) matters to the family.
