Albany Business Review: Construction Starts on Next Phase of $99 Million Troy Hospital Transformation

On Monday, December 4, St. Peter’s Health Partners hosted a Staff and Physician Open House and Ribbon Cutting, and a Public Open House of the the new Samaritan Hospital Emergency Department, opening  on December 7. SPHP Staff, physicians, and supporters were able to tour the new 32,000 square feet facility,  four times larger than the hospital’s previous emergency department, enjoy refreshments, and meet some of the department staff.

t. Peter’s Health Partners and area officials gathered for a slightly different kind of groundbreaking for a new, five-story patient pavilion to be named the Heinrich Medicus Pavilion in honor of the 96-year-old former RPI professor who donated $10 million toward SPHP’s $99 million Troy Master Facilities Plan.

St. Peter’s Health Partners – in appreciation of the generosity of 97-year-old donor Heinrich Medicus and his $1.5 million gift to advance cancer services – has renamed its two Troy cancer centers in memory of his late wife, Hildegard Medicus.
