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.
