St. Lawrence University Supports Canton-Potsdam Hospital Facilities Expansion

CANTON - St. Lawrence University will support the expansion and renovation of Canton-Potsdam Hospital's facilities at its E.J. Noble site in Canton, with a donation of $100,000 to the Hospital Foundation's "Constructing Healthier Communities" Campaign, payable over the next four years. The University's Board of Trustees approved the measure at its fall meeting October 22.

Canton-Potsdam Hospital is completing the largest construction/renovation project in its history, a $15 million construction and renovation project that includes the construction of a medical office building next to the existing E.J. Noble Building in Canton, plus renovations to that building.

"I'm pleased that St. Lawrence is able to support Canton-Potsdam Hospital's program of expansion and improvements," said University President William L. Fox. "Our Board of Trustees admires and appreciates the first-rate work of Canton-Potsdam Hospital's leadership and medical staff, especially the contributions they make to healthier North Country and St. Lawrence University communities."

In addition to being the closest full-service health care facility to St. Lawrence, Canton-Potsdam Hospital staffs the University's on-campus health services office, in the Torrey Health and Counseling Center.

On occasion, the University considers support for special projects or organizations considered to be essential to the University community's well-being, or essential to the health and welfare of the University's students or employees.
