Introducing The
New Glens Falls Hospital

The spectacular six-story facility will enable us to expand and improve our rapidly growing services in cancer care, cardiology and vascular care, and provide a level of patient and family comfort that rivals any hospital in the nation.

Patient & Family Amenities
• Our spacious, comfortably designed patient rooms provide a greater feeling of home, and free cable television.
• The curvature of our spacious corridors eliminates the long, vast tunnel-like corridors and institutional atmosphere found in most hospitals, providing a warmer, more inviting venue in which to recuperate and visit.
 |
• Family lounges with kitchenettes are located on all patient floors.
• Just outside the main entrance, The Kresge Foundation Sculpture Garden and Meditation Area provides patients and families a place for relaxation, reading and quiet conversation.
• Heated sidewalks provide safer footing for patients, visitors and staff during even the harshest winter weather.

Fourth Floor: Cardiac Catheterization/Interventional Radiology/Day Surgery
• Two Cardiac Catheterization suites offer state-of-the-art facilities for diagnosis and emergency treatment of heart disease. Glens Falls Hospital is one of the few hospitals in New York State authorized to offer elective and emergency angioplasty procedures without having an on-site, open-heart surgery facility.
• Two Interventional Radiology Suites allow specialists to perform what is known as the “Surgery of the 21st Century” — minimally invasive procedures using x-ray and ultrasound technologies to guide tiny catheters and other instruments into the body to treat illnesses and injuries previously treatable only through traditional surgical procedures.
• Two Day Surgery rooms for a variety of minor procedures; serve as a complement to our highly regarded Day Surgery Center. Five exam rooms allow efficient preparation for patients having procedures done in the two OR/procedure rooms.

Fifth Floor: Critical Care Unit

• Twenty-six private rooms serving our most critically ill patients — those previously cared for in separate Intensive Care and Coronary Care units.
• A Progressive Care Unit (PCU), featuring four private rooms, provides an intermediary stop for critical care patients whose conditions are improving.

• A 46-bed unit specially designed for the care of patients requiring cardiac monitoring, including those with pneumonia, renal patients, cardiac catheterization patients, some surgical patients and those recently moved from our Critical Care Unit.
