Troy Record: Officials Looking to Clarify Consolidation Changes at Troy Hospitals

On April 25, a celebration was held to mark the 1st anniversary of the new ICU at Samaritan Hospital.

The new unit features larger, fully private rooms designed to provide a more comfortable and healing experience for patients, and its advanced equipment and thoughtful design offers an ideal setting in which to provide the highest quality and most compassionate patient-centered care.

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.
