Lieutenant Governor Robert Duffy announced that New York State will provide $35 million for the project. The total cost of the new facility is $270 million.
The project will right-size and consolidate services in a 12-floor, 183-bed, freestanding facility on the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus that will link with Buffalo General Medical Center, the Gates Vascular Institute and Roswell Park Cancer Institute, the new University of Buffalo Medical School and more.
The ongoing capital campaign for the construction of the new hospital has raised nearly $44 million to date. Additionally, $2.5 million has been raised to create endowments for some of the hospital’s family support programs, including Stones Buddies for chronically ill children and a neonatal intensive care unit family resources endowment.
