February 12, 2014

HORNELL, NY – St. James Hospital Jennifer Sullivan told a crowd at Hornell High School last night that the Hornell hospital will someday be in a new state of the art facility. Sullivan explained that the problem is that the current model of health care, which is largely outpatient care, has already outmoded the current St. James Building. “We’ve got to get out of the building we’re in,” Sullivan said to the audience.

Sullivan also noted that healthcare has become centered around outpatient care, with the emphasis being on preventative medicine and the hospital, if it is to survive must adapt to the changing world and flutuating economy. She outlined a plan which included the construction of a new facility for outpatient care, and announced that the new Express Care Center was opening on March 10th in the Elm Street building which will be open from 12pm -10pm, seven days a week.

There will be another community forum, sometime in the future in Hornell.
