Rome Health has started the site work to construct the new addition for the new Intensive Care Unit and Kaplan Center for Surgical Services. The milder weather earlier this month gave the Haynor Hoyt construction crew a window of time to excavate the site and start pouring the footings for the new addition. The foundation walls for the $45.7 million project will be built over the coming weeks. The project will be completed in three phases with an anticipated completion in summer 2026.
The project involves constructing a 30,000 square-foot, three-floor addition on the north side of the hospital, which will allow the hospital to replace its aging operating rooms and intensive care units.
“The $45.7 million capital project will enhance the experience for patients and their families while supporting the care team in delivering the best care out there here,” said Rome Health President and Chief Executive Officer AnneMarie Czyz.
“Rome Health engaged King + King Architects and the Hayner Hoyt Corporation to design and construct a state-of-the-art facility that is easily accessible for patients and families and reflects the quality of care we deliver,” said Chief Operating Officer Ryan Thompson.
The project is being funded through a partnership of more than $29 million in public funding and private philanthropy, including a $26 million New York State Transformation Grant and $3 million in ARPA funds from the City of Rome. With nearly $44 million raised in public funding and private philanthropy, Rome Health is only $1.5 million away from reaching its fund-raising goal for the capital campaign.
“Every gift, large or small, brings us closer to our goal,” said Rome Health Foundation Executive Director Chester W. DiBari III. “Through your generosity, we are transforming community-based healthcare to provide local access to great care in state-of-the-art facilities.”
