WNYT NewsChannel 13: St. Peter’s Health Partners Breaks Ground on Samaritan Hospital Campus

The new, state-of-the-art PCU features larger, fully private rooms designed to provide a more comfortable and healing experience for patients, as well as advanced monitoring and diagnostic equipment to help physicians, nurses, and technicians provide the highest quality, patient-centered care.

On April 17, St. Peter’s Health Partners held an open house to celebrate the new Intensive Care Unit at Samaritan Hospital. The new unit doubles the number of ICU beds from 12 to 24, offers larger rooms and new patient amenities, and provides a more comfortable and healing experience for patients and their families.

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.
