Rome Health received final approval from the New York State Department of Health to open its new 9-bed Intensive Care Unit (ICU) this morning, Wednesday, June 18, marking a major milestone in the hospital’s continued transformation of community-based healthcare. All patients were successfully transitioned today from the hospital’s previous ICU—constructed in 1969—into the modern, purpose-built facility designed to support advanced critical care. “Replacing our aging ICU was the next capital investment needed to ensure local access to high-quality critical care services for patients and their families,” said Rome Health President and Chief Executive Officer AnneMarie Czyz, RN, EdD. “We are incredibly grateful to the City of Rome and the generous donors whose support brought this vision to life. Together, we are delivering the best care out there—right here.”
