"Old" Hospitals
Many cities have old hospital and some of our country's very best hospitals utilize old buildings that continue to provide excellent healthcare. While Utica today has four hospital areas, none are being planned for the new hospital site. Why?
They say the buildings are old, but saying Utica's hospitals are "old" is not a study. Nor is it a reason to build an entirely new one in a 5th location! We believe their acessement is unfair and the initial construction date does not tell an accurate story."
St. Luke's Campus
Opposite a college with health and medical programs, adjacent to a large doctors' group, labs and surgery centers Here, yet they want to abandon it all! Why?
Did you guess correctly? Actually it requires some math. St. Luke's like just about every other hospital is built in stages, much like families are! Some parts older and other parts much newer... pic.twitter.com/qdJ1WRFk8C

St. Elizabeth Medical Center
In 1917 it was in a forested area, but a hospital that's had very considerable growth...
Stating a @CityofUtica hospital is "old" is not a complete story, nor is it a study. The @MVHealthSystem #mvhsdowntown concept story leaves out lots of #healthcare information... pic.twitter.com/sXhBMUNIZ5

Old Main / Mohawk Valley Psychiatric Center
Large and open, 100-acres of state land was a top pick, but ignored in the end...
