Rome Health Undergoing $45.7 Million Project to Enhance Services Amid Surge in Demand for Care

Rome Health, a healthcare provider in the Mohawk Valley, is currently undergoing a $45.7 million project to improve its services. The initiative involves building a three-floor addition totaling 30,000 square feet, which will replace the hospital’s aging operating rooms and intensive care units. This move will allow for more efficient and seamless patient care.

Since 2019, Rome Health has experienced a significant increase in the number of patients seeking services. The Chief Operating Officer, Ryan Thompson, stated that all services at the hospital have grown by nearly 30% during that time. The new work being done at Rome Health is essential to meet the growing demand for care and ensure that services are provided at modern standards.

The project marks the fourth major initiative undertaken by Rome Health in the past four years, demonstrating a commitment to ongoing improvement. The hospital’s vision is to provide high-quality care to the community and ensure that services are available in a manner that is sustainable and in line with modern standards. Funding for the project comes from a combination of public funding and private philanthropy, with over $29 million contributed by the state of New York and $3 million from the City of Rome in ARPA funds. With nearly $44 million raised in total, Rome Health is close to reaching its fundraising goal for the capital campaign.
