Times Union: Samaritan Sets Sept. 20 for Heinrich Medicus Pavilion Celebration

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.

Featuring state-of-the-art technology, innovative facilities to enhance high-quality care and patient comfort, and the Capital Region’s first Senior Emergency Room, the new ED will begin accepting patients at 4 a.m. on Thursday, December 7.
