Having recently celebrated its centennial, the 25-bed critical access Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Hospital is the rural New York county’s sole hospital. The hospital provides vital services, including a 24/7 emergency department, advanced imaging, primary and behavioral care, and skilled nursing. It operates the only CT scanner and urgent care practice in the county, while expanding access through new clinics and community partnerships. In 2024, the hospital received multiple American Heart Association “Get With The Guidelines” awards for coronary artery disease and STEMI care, recognizing its interdisciplinary approach and rapid response times. The hospital also ranks No. 10 in New York for emergency department throughput, with a median provider wait time of just seven minutes, making it among the fastest in the state.
