With two hospitals and six community-based primary care health centers, Elizabethtown Community Hospital serves as the central source of healthcare delivery for local residents and visitors to the Adirondack Park wilderness. The hospital offers two 24-hour physician-staffed emergency departments, a 25-bed inpatient unit, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, radiology, laboratory, chemotherapy, infusion, cardiology, gynecology, gastroenterology, oncology, orthopedics, women’s health and pulmonary specialty care. Elizabethtown Community Hospital and its network partner hospital, Malone, N.Y.-based Alice Hyde Medical Center, are the only two federally-designated critical access hospitals north of Albany and east of Lake Ontario. The hospital is a healthcare partner of Burlington-based The University of Vermont Health Network, a nonprofit academic health system that serves nearly one million people.
