Governor confirms full $450 million in funding for Upstate Hospital's new emergency department
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Governor Kathy Hochul is granting Upstate University Hospital the full $450 million requested for its new emergency department, her office confirmed to NewsChannel 9. In a statement on Tuesday, May 6, her office said: 'Every New Yorker deserves access to high-quality health care where and when they need it most. With Micron on the horizon, Central New York is poised for tremendous growth and SUNY Upstate must be ready to serve the tens of thousands of people who will call this region home. That is why Governor Hochul worked with the Legislature to deliver a budget that protects access to care and positions SUNY Upstate to meet the needs of the future with $450 million for its proposed expansion.' The $450 million allocation is more than the $200 million Governor Hochul initially proposed in a draft version of the budget. She stood by the initial amount in two interviews with NewsChannel 9, once in January and again in April. All along, the State Legislature advocated for the higher amount and included the full figure in both budget drafts passed by each chamber. The hospital's plan is to build an emergency department four times the current size in a yet-to-be-finalized location across the street from the facility. The expansion will come with more beds, more capacity for mental health emergencies and an enhanced burn unit. One key desire is to separate walk-ins with less serious emergencies from the Level 1 Trauma patients who are rushed in. In March, leaders from Upstate Medical University discussed the project on NewsChannel 9's Newsmakers. 'What's behind it is an incredibly deep infrastructure of specialists that are on 24/7,' said Dr. Robert Corona, explaining the complexities of any emergency department deserving of the Level 1 Trauma title. 'You have head trauma, you need a neurosurgeon. You have cardiac trauma, you need a heart surgeon. Abdominal trauma, you need general traumatic surgeons.' 'You have to have a backup team,' said Dr. Dewan, 'because trauma often comes in multiples.' He said, 'That's why there's only five trauma centers in the state that do Level 1 trauma for children and adults. We're very fortunate to have one in Syracuse.' Tuesday, State Senator Chris Ryan was the first to indicate that the full funding was moving forward. State Senator Chris Ryan's Full Statement 'Central New York is on the move—and with $119 million invested in critical water infrastructure directly tied to Micron, and $450 million in full funding for SUNY Upstate Medical University, we're laying the foundation for sustained, long-term growth. These investments are not just numbers—they're a signal that New York is serious about meeting the demands of a booming regional economy. From preparing our water systems to support high-tech manufacturing, to expanding our medical research and healthcare capacity, we're making sure Central New York can handle the growth we've worked so hard to achieve. These bold steps are about more than progress—they're about jobs, innovation, and securing a thriving future for the families and communities of this region.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Awaiting final funding figure, Upstate Hospital leaders begin plans for new emergency department
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — In a rare joint interview, the two top leaders at Upstate Medical University are detailing plans for the hospital's new emergency department as they wait to hear how much money the project will get from New York State. Regardless of the funding, the need is obvious. 'Sometimes we'll have 120 patients in our ED,' said Dr. Robert Corona. 'We have 35 beds.' Corona, the CEO of Upstate University Hospital, and Dr. Mantosh Dewan, President of Upstate Medical University sat down for this week's edition of Newsmakers on NewsChannel 9.

Regularly feeling underfunded, Upstate University Hospital has asked for $450 million from New York State for the project. Their request was made by every local state senator and assembly member. In her budget proposal, Governor Kathy Hochul is committing to $200 million, just under half the request. She'll have to negotiate with the State Legislature. Both the State Senate and State Assembly have separately passed their own budget bills that fully fund SUNY Upstate's $450 million request. Senator Chris Ryan, who advocated for the hospital funding even before being sworn in, said: 'I'm particularly proud that my call for full funding for SUNY Upstate was met. By including an additional $250 million for a total of $450 million, we're demonstrating the importance of this funding for key repairs and emergency room renovations.' The expansion will come with more beds, more capacity for mental health emergencies and an enhanced burn unit. One key desire is to separate walk-ins with less serious emergencies from the Level 1 Trauma patients who are rushed in.

He said: 'That's why there's only five trauma centers in the state that do Level 1 trauma for children and adults. We're very fortunate to have one in Syracuse.' The space that holds the current emergency department will be renovated into a pediatric emergency room, including Level 1 trauma treatment for children. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
