Massena Memorial Hospital
Massena Memorial Hospital [1][2] was an "upstate New York" hospital[3] that was described as ""rural" and struggling" in 1987[4] and subsequently closed.[5] Justification included "improvements in ambulance and helicopter transportation."[4]
To serve local emergency needs, a medical facility, part of the St. Lawrence Health System, operates there, using the name Massena Hospital.[6]
History
[edit]Although the dedication for the original hospital was 1952.[7] Plans had begun over a decade prior.[8]
When it closed in 2019,[9] St. Lawrence Health System absorbed it, as it had previously absorbed E.J. Noble Hospital and Canton-Potsdam Hospital.[6][10]
