Four partners of UR Medicineincluding Strong Memorial Hospitalwill receive a total of $21.8 million in state grants, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced Wednesday. <\/p>\n
The grants are part of the Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program that aims to create financially stable health care systems. <\/p>\n
Now, more than ever, we need to protect health care in New York and ensure the system in place is meeting the needs of current and future generations of New Yorkers, Cuomo said in a statement. While others seek to decimate our hospitals and reduce access to quality health care, we are investing to help ensure a stronger, healthier New York for all. <\/p>\n
The four hospitals are: <\/p>\n
Strong Memorial Hospital: The hospital will receive $1.88 million to expand crisis stabilization and addiction services in Monroe County, including a 24\/7 phone triage available to all community providers, further development of mobile crisis services and additional crisis beds for patients who require short-term transitional care, officials said. <\/p>\n
Jones Memorial Hospital, Wellsville, Allegany County: The hospital will receive$5.7 million to implement a new electronic medical record system that will integrate Jones into the UR Medicine EMR system. <\/p>\n
Noyes Memorial Hospital, Dansville, Livingston County: The hospital will receive $6.3 million to implement an EMR system integrated with the UR Medicine system. <\/p>\n
St. James Mercy Hospital, Hornell, Steuben County: The hospital will receive $7.9 million to support development of a new hospital campus, officials said. <\/p>\n
These grants help to close the gap between whats needed by those we serve and whats affordable based on our operations, said Mark Taubman M.D., CEO of UR Medicine, in a statement. This funding will help us build an infrastructure that works better for patients and providers, and furthers our efforts to address daunting behavioral health challenges.
