Hospital Reaching Out
onto Broad Street

In recent years, Glens Falls Hospital has transformed itself from a community hospital into a comprehensive network of health care services. No longer is your hospital a single building on Park Street. Today, we’re bringing services to you across the region.

Our new Broad Street Campus in Glens Falls is our latest endeavor — the largest and most exciting addition to our services since the opening of the Pruyn Pavilion and our outstanding Cancer and Day Surgery centers.

The new 13,000-square-foot Outpatient Renal Center will be the centerpiece of the project when it opens later this year. But the Campus is already alive with activity and making a difference in people’s health.

Our Occupational Health Center, Work Tolerance Center, Center for Vocational Rehabilitation, Adirondack Sleep Disorders Lab, Regional Diabetes Center and Nutrition Center now occupy 14,000 square feet of renovated space on the first and second floors of the former Northcare Building at two Broad Street. These services have seen a dramatic growth in demand in recent years, and their patients and staff are more than deserving of the new and improved facilities.

The following is a brief look at what they have to offer:

The Occupational Health Center assists more than 300 local and regional businesses by providing on-site nursing and physician services; drug screenings; pre-employment physicals; worker's compensation case management; worksite safety and training assessments; and rehabilitation skill development services for people changing careers.

The Work Tolerance Center and The Center for Vocational Rehabilitation work hand-in-hand to help injured people recover and return to work. The Work Tolerance Center's physical and occupational therapists work with patients in extensive, four-hour-per-day sessions designed to help them overcome their injuries, prevent future injuries, and resume working as soon as possible. 

The Center for Vocational Rehabilitation staff assesses patients' physical abilities, makes recommendations on the type of work they are capable of performing and if necessary, helps them find the right job.

The Adirondack Sleep Disorders Lab specializes in the treatment of breathing-related sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep apnea. (See story below.)

The Regional Diabetes Center provides insulin administration, blood glucose monitoring, a diabetes self-management program, and diabetes and nutrition counseling services. In conjunction with the opening of the center, endocrinologist Jose Gulindo, M.D., will open an office in the same building.

The Nutrition Center of Glens Falls Hospital provides individualized nutrition counseling, along with educational programs and workshops, for adults and children with general nutrition and wellness concerns; eating disorders; and concerns related to cardiovascular disease, hypertension, cholesterol levels, cancer, kidney disease, diabetes, digestive disorders and pregnancy.

As a not-for-profit community hospital, Glens Falls Hospital’s mission is not only to provide care and services for the sick, but to offer programs that advance and promote good health, and meet the changing health care needs of local people.

Our Broad Street Campus accomplishes all three  —  just another way Glens Falls Hospital is responding to you.

Best of Health,
