St. Lawrence Health System [1] is an upstate New York three-hospital healthcare provider that is part of the Rochester Regional Health system in Western NY. St. Lawrence Health System encompasses what formerly were Canton-Potsdam Hospital, E.J. Noble Hospital and Massena Memorial Hospital. [2]

History

St. Lawrence began in 2013 as "a new two-hospital system." [3] It subsequently expanded by adding Massena Memorial Hospital in 2019. [4]

In 2019, as they were beginning their Massena takeover, they obtained funding for "patient-centered" training [5] and grants "providing low-income St. Lawrence County residents free rides to non-medical destinations like pharmacies, grocery stores, farmer’s markets, self-help classes and other places that could improve their health." [6]

Their special services programs include inpatient detox/rehab and Center for Cancer Care. [7] [8]

In January 2021, Rochester Regional Health acquired St. Lawrence Health System, a three-hospital system. The affiliation aims to strengthen the care that is delivered in the North Country communities served by St. Lawrence Health System.
