History

"The Canton-Potsdam Hospital Foundation was established in 1985" to help enlarge the existing hospital. Expansion included a $35 million building, erected in 2017, and a $6 million structure in 2018. Part of Canton-Potsdam's growth came from affiliations with other hospitals.

St. Lawrence Health System

In 2013 Canton-Potsdam began a state-approved contractual arrangement to manage Edward [John Noble Hospital Of Gouverneur|E.J. Noble Hospital], another New York hospital. The combination, which also brought recognition from union picketers, was named St. Lawrence Health System. This "new two-hospital system" subsequently expanded by adding Massena Memorial Hospital in 2019.
