Look Inside
Welcome to a New Era in Emergency Care
With the support of donors from across our regional community, Glens Falls Hospital is creating a new Sheridan Emergency Department that will offer patients and family members a more private, personal, and comfortable care experience at one of the most stressful times of their lives. Significant portions of the project have already been completed, with final completion scheduled for early 2027.
This is the future Sheridan Emergency Department
The new Sheridan Emergency Department will be nearly 40% larger, with more than 7,700 square feet of new construction and major repurposing and renovation of existing space.
A covered portico and a larger, more comfortable public waiting area will welcome patients and visitors and provide an overall better care experience from the start.
After arriving in the public waiting area, patients who are not in immediate need of a bed will be given an initial evaluation and diagnostic testing and then proceed to a separate, more private waiting area to continue their care in a setting that is more sensitive to their needs. Here, as in other places in the Department, a “video wall” will bring the beauty of the Adirondacks inside.
For the first time, the Emergency Department will have its own, dedicated CT scanner, helping our providers diagnose and treat patients faster.
The number of rooms for the most seriously ill patients will nearly double, with some rooms capable of being quickly adapted to safely accommodate the needs of behavioral health patients.
Patients with relatively minor illnesses and injuries will have a dedicated treatment area, helping all patients receive the most efficient care possible.
Whether it’s supporting our new Crisis Stabilization Unit, building the new Sheridan Emergency Department, upgrading our Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit, or assisting any Glens Falls Hospital department of your choosing, your gift to the “Any Day. Any Time. Every One” campaign will make a difference in people’s lives.
