History

"The Canton-Potsdam Hospital Foundation was established in 1985"^[4] to help enlarge the existing hospital. Expansion included a $35 million building, erected in 2017, and a $6 million structure in 2018.^[5] Part of Canton-Potsdam's growth came from affiliations with other hospitals.^[6][7]

St. Lawrence Health System

In 2013 Canton-Potsdam began a state-approved contractual arrangement to manage E.J. Noble Hospital, another New York hospital.^[8] The combination, which also brought recognition from union picketers,^[9] was named St. Lawrence Health System.^[10] This "new two-hospital system" subsequently expanded by adding Massena Memorial Hospital in 2019.^[11][12][13]
