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

Not an Acute Care Hospital?
If you are not an acute care hospital provider or don’t meet all of the above criteria, it is still a good idea to proactively identify and prepare for projects that may qualify for future transformation grants. Contact Joseph Tomaino, CEO, to learn more.
