NewsChannel 13: St. Mary’s, Samaritan to Transition Roles Ahead of Schedule

Samaritan and St. Mary’s hospitals have launched an innovative new program called the “Patient and Family Advisory Council” to help improve quality and safety for patients, and enhancing the hospital experience for both patients and their families.

The $105 million, multi-year Troy Master Facilities Plan was featured in the Times Union article, “Ups and downs marked the year’s economic news.”

The Times Union published a story about the upcoming event celebrating the completion of Samaritan Hospital’s expansion. That event is now set for September 20th. From the story: The patient tower, a new emergency department and a multi-level parking garage are part of the $99 million  Troy Master Facilities Plan that also includes improvements to convert St. Mary’s Hospital into an outpatient facility. Both are part of St. Peter’s Health Partners. The two-level pedestrian bridge will connect the 1969-era patient tower designed by Chicago-based  Perkins + Will with the new Heinrich Medicus patient pavilion, designed by Charlotte-based FreemanWhite, which is also nearing completion. Emergency department services, an intensive care unit, medical/surgical floor and a progressive care unit already occupy the five-story pavilion. To read the full story, click HERE.
