New MVHS Hospital & FOIL
MVHS and Oneida County seek to build a new hospital. Residents were told the Downtown Utica site was unanimously selected as the hospital's board first choice...
Some residents had been asking questions. The answers to support the decision were not satisfying, so our group was formed. Labeled simply as naysayers, some citizens decided to submit FOIL Requests. We've been seeking answers to questions and more information...
