Glens Falls Hospital Jobs and Profile

Glens Falls Hospital:
A Vital Health Care Safety Net

Glens Falls Hospital is the sole, comprehensive, acute care community hospital serving a 2,600-square-mile, predominantly rural region encompassing Warren, Washington, Hamilton, Essex and northern Saratoga counties of Upstate New York.

Simply put, the not-for-profit hospital is a health care safety net for individuals and families from the immediate Glens Falls area to smaller, geographically remote communities tucked away in the Adirondack Park.

Recognizing the Hospital’s importance to the wellbeing of this broad, far-flung population, the Hospital’s volunteer Board of Governors and its administrative and medical staffs have worked diligently over the years to recruit outstanding physicians and provide local people with a broad scope of services and expertise that would otherwise not be available without traveling to more distant cities like Albany, Boston or New York City.

Glens Falls Hospital provides a comprehensive continuum of services which includes: medicine/surgery; intensive care; coronary care; obstetrics; gynecology; pediatrics; ambulatory surgery; emergency care; cardiac catheterization; an integrated cancer treatment program; a chronic dialysis maintenance and training program; primary care; home infusion services; and a continuum of behavioral health services. The hospital has more than 225 affiliated physicians, ranging from primary care practitioners to surgical subspecialists. Our physicians are board-certified in more than 25 specialties.

The hospital has also established a diverse array of community outreach programs, bringing its expertise and services to people in outlying portions of its service area through three rural primary care centers, the use of mobile health screening vans, school-based health programs, worksite health projects and community health education.

These outreach programs are especially important for low-income individuals and families who may otherwise fail to seek out health care due to financial or transportation concerns. Our objective is to prevent health care problems and detect existing conditions earlier, keeping local people healthier and reducing future medical costs. In virtually every case, these programs are not financially self-sufficient and would not be provided by any other institution or for-profit health care provider in the region.
