Eligibility Guidelines for New NY Transformation Grant

Acute care hospital providers in New York State (NYS) have a new grant opportunity that provides vital capital funding for emergency department transformation.

The NYS Department of Health (DOH) has allocated $200 million to the Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program to support capital projects that facilitate “health care transformation activities.” To be eligible, the applicant must be a general hospital operating an emergency room that meets all of the following criteria:

  • Serves as a Level 1 trauma center with the highest volume in its region
  • Includes the capacity to segregate emergency room patients who have communicable diseases, trauma or severe behavioral health issues
  • Provides training in emergency care and trauma care to residents for multiple hospitals in the region
  • Serves a high proportion of Medicaid patients
