We will fulfill this portion of our mission in 2022 with the scheduled opening of the reimagined HealthAlliance Hospital on Mary’s Avenue in Kingston and the continued evolution of Bon Secours Community Hospital in Port Jervis. Many more exciting projects are in our plans and I am honored to serve the Board, and our communities, in this role.”
