New ICU rooms open at St. James Hospital
HORNELL, N.Y. (WETM) — Some Hornell-area patients who would typically need to transfer to a further away hospital can now stay closer to home.
St. James Hospital announced that it finished construction on two state-of-the-art ICU rooms, and the rooms are open. With the addition of these new rooms, the hospital can provide critical care to local patients and reduce transfers to other facilities. According to the hospital, the new ICU rooms have advanced medical technology and resources that can be used to treat patients with severe or life-threatening conditions.
'This expansion allows us to keep critical care patients in our community, ensuring they receive timely and specialized treatment while staying close to their loved ones,' said Wendy Disbrow, president and CEO of St. James Hospital.
Pictures of the new rooms can be seen below:
St. James initially announced that it was building ICU rooms on Feb. 4, less than one month after the rooms were completed. St. James Hospital is now the second facility in Steuben County with an Intensive Care Unit (Guthrie Corning Hospital was the first).
