As we track MVHS, we are looking and comparing other new hospital projects. Information, comparisons and links to follow. A running list, by Healthcare Finance News- Healthcare construction projects, new facilities opened in 2016
June 25, 2018 - Looking at Healthcare Finance News, we see that someone already started construction of the Downtown Utica hospital- on January 11, 2016!!!
Was curious about average hospital construction costs (naturally) & certain medical departments, so I figured I'd find a few articles and go off MVHS' numbers to compare. But to my surprise this article from 11/9/15 already had St Lukes listed as starting construction 1/11/16 pic.twitter.com/PNPNZPRiOS

December 30, 2016 - The politicians say we cannot build a new hospital at St. Luke's, too disruptive. Yet we see new construction can and does happen right next to existing hospitals...
