The renovation added new rooms and equipment and doubles the amount of surgeries that the Lowville, N.Y.-based will be able to perform, according to the report. 

Lewis County General will also bring back maternity services in spring 2024, meaning that  expecting mothers will no longer have to travel to Watertown or Syracuse, N.Y., for maternal care. 

The hospital closed its maternity ward more than two years ago because of staffing shortages during the COVID-19 pandemic.
