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.
