The board authorized Supervisor Rick Dattola to sign letters of support for Adirondack Health’s FY27 Congressionally Directed Spending request to modernize medical imaging equipment at facilities in Saranac Lake, Lake Placid and Tupper Lake. The template described aging X‑ray systems "beyond manufacturer support" and said new equipment would "improve image quality, reduce radiation exposure, and help ensure patients across the North Country can receive timely and accurate diagnoses close to home."
Councilman Adam Boudreau moved to approve the supervisor signing the support letters; Councilman Tim Larkin seconded and the motion carried 4–0. The board recorded the action to support regional healthcare capital needs.
