UHS is proud to be a healthcare leader in our region, with a long-standing commitment to the communities we serve.
Encompassing four hospitals, long-term care, home care services and physician practice sites in the Southern Tier, UHS is here to meet your healthcare needs, wherever you are.
With so many care centers across our System, UHS places a strong emphasis on strengthening collaboration among all sites, practices and partners. By working together as one unified healthcare system, our teams stay aligned in support of our mission to improve the health of the communities we serve by delivering safe, effective, patient-centered care. This alignment allows us to deliver the best possible outcomes for all who trust us with their care.
In this issue’s cover story, you will read about one example of that coordination in action: A Norwich-area patient experiencing a stroke received immediate care at UHS Chenango Memorial Hospital before being transferred to UHS Wilson Medical Center for further evaluation and recovery at the region’s only designated Comprehensive Stroke Center.
At UHS, we are continually working to expand access and advance care throughout the region we serve. As you read through this issue, you will learn more about the latest innovations and advancements at our rural hospitals—including a new residency program—that further strengthens our ability to provide exceptional care close to home.
Whether you live in Greater Binghamton or in one of the rural communities we serve, you can trust that you’ll receive the high-quality, patient-centered care you deserve when you walk through the doors of any UHS location.
