Kingston is approximately 90 miles north of New York City.

The new hospital includes a new, two-story, 79,000-square-foot building adjoining the hospital’s legacy structure as well as a full renovation of 48,000 square feet of the previous hospital environment. The new building will also have a 25,000-square-foot emergency care center as well as a family birthing center and intensive care unit.
