Hospital tells Bronxville trustees about new labor-and-delivery suites, OR upgrades and capital campaign
Summary
Hospital officials briefed the village on a recent labor-and-delivery renovation, operating-room additions, a proposed emergency department expansion and a $20 million capital campaign earmarked for several campus projects, hospital and village officials said.
Representatives of the hospital serving Bronxville updated trustees on several clinical and facility projects and a capital campaign that the hospital says will support campus improvements.
Village Administrator Jim Palmer reported he and the mayor recently met hospital leaders including Paul Dumfey, chief operating officer, and Tim Hughes, vice president of operations. Palmer summarized items hospital officials described to the village: a new labor-and-delivery unit that opened in January with six family-friendly suites, two new operating rooms for cesarean deliveries, a step-down unit (for patients transitioning from ICU-level care), recruitment of physicians aligned with Columbia, a possible third cardiac catheterization lab, and plans for an expanded pediatric emergency department space.
Palmer said the hospital has launched a $20 million capital campaign to support the emergency-department and pediatric-expansion work, among other projects, and that hospital officials emphasized that funds raised for the Bronxville campus will stay on that campus. He said the hospital’s lobby renovation is underway and expected to be completed within a year; officials also discussed potential future uses for Palmer Hall, the hospital administration building, but had no definitive plan.
The report was informational. Trustees did not take action but thanked hospital staff for the update and noted continued coordination on health and facility matters.
