The UHS Wilson Project

During an October 16 walkthrough of the Wilson Main Tower, our team captured photos of progress in the new emergency department, including parking, triage and patient rooms. Also shown through the walkthrough was the ambulance bay, the drive through drop off area and the future registration area. Of course, our visit wouldn't be complete with at least one view from the top!

Exterior photos October 5, 2023:  UHS continues to make excellent progress toward opening the doors of our new Wilson Main Tower in 2024. The latest progress on the Wilson Main Tower includes the continuation of window installation and the façade. We invite you to keep following along as we get closer to our opening, and make sure to take a look at the previous albums below, to truly see the changes.

During a September walkthrough of the Wilson Main Tower, our team captured photos of the incredible progress that has occurred on the inside of the expansion. The future triage and patient rooms are shown in the photos below, as well as the registration and the entrance area, new views of the ambulance bay and elevators, and some gorgeous views from the top!

Exterior photos August 21, 2023:  The latest progress on the Wilson Main Tower includes construction on the MRI Suite which will feature the MRI bunker, patient prep and recovery area, plus the necessary clinical storage and administrative spaces. Facade installation is underway, and glass has been installed along the majority of the exterior. Additionally, installation has been completed for the new cooling systems that will eventually serve the Wilson Tower.

During our end of July walkthrough of the Wilson Main Tower, our team captured photos of the future ambulance bay, which will have a drop-off area and space for seven ambulances in the parking bay. You'll also see progress on the second and third floors, including patient rooms, as well as the start of the terra cotta being installed on the outside of the building. Follow along with us as we move closer to our 2024 opening!

The Wilson Project in Johnson City will develop a new regional medical center: a six-story, state-of-the-art clinical tower on the campus of UHS Wilson Medical Center in Johnson City.  Facing Main Street, the six-story, 183,000-square-foot, Wilson Main Tower will be the “front door” to UHS’ services going forward, and will feature a new trauma center and emergency department, a MRI suite, four inpatient units with private patient rooms, a surgical support area and a new roof-top helipad. 

This is the first expansion of the UHS Wilson Medical Center campus in more than 30 years.  The Wilson Project will make Johnson City’s UHS Wilson a true complement to Binghamton University’s Health Sciences Campus, with the two facilities standing adjacent to each other in the heart of the Johnson City Health & Cultural District.

As UHS grows and expands to meet the changing needs of the Southern Tier, many career opportunities are available for qualified healthcare professionals.  

This is true across our multi-facility System today, and will be true as we create and open the new Johnson City regional medical center patient tower at the UHS Wilson Medical Center within the next five years.
