History

While the affiliated medical school, Norton College of Medicine, had existed for years prior, the plan to operate a medical center affiliated with the university was thought of as far back as 1915 when university Dean, John Heffron proposed the idea. [5] [6]

Years later on May 19, 1951, the plans for the new University Hospital were approved, laying the groundwork for the construction of the hospital. [7] [6]

On July 1, 1961, ground was broken on the construction for the Upstate University Hospital. [6] The hospital was later opened in 1965 with 375 beds under the name "State University Hospital" at a total cost of $20 million ($165 million in today's funds.) [8] [6]

In June 1976, hospital officials established the Upstate Medical Center Foundation to accept donations to help advance patient care to underserved communities. [6] In 1984, the foundation funded the construction of a new pediatric intensive care unit with a capacity of 7 beds at a cost of $1 million. [9]

In November 1994 the new East Wing of Upstate University Hospital is opened and moved into using a staggered occupancy plan.

Years later, in 2003 plans to expand the East Wing vertically 5 floors were approved with a planned cost of $84 million. [6] In 2006 the expanded East wing opened becoming the Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital thanks to a $6 million gift from local philanthropist, Tom Golisano. [10] Ultimately the new children's hospital opened in 2009 at a cost of $150 million with 71 private rooms and 87,000 square feet of space. [11]

During the 2020 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, Upstate University Hospital introduced limited strict visiting policies and introduced updated visiting guidelines to help stop the spread of the virus through hospital visits. [12] Later on, hospital officials announced that Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital would treat non-covid adult patients, expanding their age limit to age 30. [13]

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, on August 19, 2021, SUNY Upstate was awarded $2 million from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to help upgrade and support its tele-health infrastructure with a focus on video consults and remote patient monitoring as part of its electronic medical record (EMR) system. [14]
