Gouverneur, New York – The Kinney Drugs Foundation Board of Directors voted in favor of making a $250,000 pledge over 5 years to support Gouverneur based EJ Noble Hospital’s capital project for expansion and modernization of the hospital, patient care units and clinical services.

“The employee owners of Kinney Drugs have provided quality healthcare to the residents of Northern New York since 1903. Our pledge to this much-needed project at EJ Noble Hospital is a continuation of our healthcare support to the local communities,” stated Craig Painter, Chairman and CEO of Kinney Drugs, Inc.

Daniel Villa, President of the Kinney Drugs Foundation added, “The Kinney Drugs Foundation is very excited that the expansion and renovation of EJ Noble Hospital is getting underway. We are proud to be able to support this fine institution. When this project is completed it will bring a new and modern health care facility to the North Country and will meet the needs of the residents for years to come.”

The Kinney Drugs Foundation’s pledge is the largest made to the EJ Noble project. The funds will support the hospital’s modernization and expansion. The first phase of construction will consist of a new thirty-three bed medical/surgical unit which will be located in a new building directly west of the Physician Office Building in a two floor addition that will provide approximately 32,000 square feet. The first floor will consist of a new patient care area which will include twenty-seven medical/surgical beds, three pediatric beds and a three bed Intensive Care Unit. The ground floor will house new Respiratory Therapy, Physical Therapy and Pharmacy Departments.

The final part of this building program will involve renovating the first floor of the hospital to meet critical ancillary service needs for laboratory, radiology and social services. Requirements for the second floor will be to address pre and post operative Ambulatory Surgical Services.

“We are very pleased to maintain the long standing working relationship with Kinney Drugs and the Kinney Drugs Foundation,” stated Chuck Conole, CEO of EJ Noble Hospital. “This generosity further solidifies the community goal of maintaining acute care viability for the citizens within the North Country.”
