Episcopal Health Services (EHS) announced it has been awarded $27,181,465 through the New York State Health Care Facility Transformation Program IV to modernize and expand the critical care services offered at St. John’s Episcopal Hospital, located at 3-27 Beach 19th St. in Far Rockaway.
Residents of the Rockaways, Five Towns and other surrounding communities in need of lifesaving care will benefit immensely from this investment. The funding will allow EHS to increase its critical care capacity to 28 beds, as well as build a new unit directly above its Emergency Department.
The new state-of-the-art unit will replace the Critical Care/ICU Unit on the third floor. This new facility will help to significantly enhance the ability of EHS to provide high-quality care to patients faster and more efficiently.
