Aurelia Osborn Fox was born in Oneonta. She and her husband Reuben lived there. When she died in 1899, he contributed $10,000 to help found and fund the hospital named in her memory. [7]

Fox Memorial [8] was described in 1994 as a "burgeoning network of outpatient feeder clinics" fighting for "survival in an era of declining hospital use and shuttered hospitals." [9] The hospital, which has a nursing home unit, [10] had discussed affiliating with nearby "Mary I. Imogene Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown" in 1994, and then in 2008. In 2010 "a corporate affiliation" was initiated. [7] In 2017 an affiliation with Tri-Town Regional Hospital in Sidney, 23 miles from Fox, was initiated. [6] The latter is named A.O. Fox Memorial Hospital - Tri-Town Campus, Sidney.
