UHS Delaware Valley Hospital Awarded NYSDOH Grant

The Reporter - August 21, 2025

UHS Delaware Valley Hospital (UHS DVH) announced it has been awarded a $20 million grant through the Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program IV application with the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH).

This investment is one of over 50 projects funded by New York State through the Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program, aimed at expanding access to inpatient, primary, behavioral health and long-term care services.

UHS DVH is a vital cornerstone of healthcare in its rural county, serving families, seniors, and individuals who might otherwise face significant barriers in receiving care. To better meet the growing needs of the community, the hospital recently announced its plans to build a four-story addition that will transform the rural hospital into the Delaware Valley Hospital Medical Neighborhood. This grant will support that expansion.

The new building, which will be connected to the main Hospital building, will house all 25 inpatient beds and the following services/functions:

• primary medical care services
• medical specialty services
• physical, occupational & speech therapy
• laboratory, blood draw
• building services and other support functions

The Medical Neighborhood Project is expected to begin in fall 2025 with an anticipated completion by the end of 2027.
