Master Facilities Plan

Strengths and weaknesses of the existing hospital dating from 1931 were analyzed, alternate delivery models were reviewed, future priorities were established, and a phased approach to meeting those needs was developed. Specific site limitations and opportunities for future growth were diagrammed and scored.  

The Canton-Potsdam Hospital Board formally adopted the Master Facilities Plan and instructed HOLT to proceed with implementation phase for the highest priority programs. Identified was a first project that would improve functionality and patient flow, but also project a new image to the community to be served. Two building additions and numerous renovations would address a new main entrance with vehicular drop-off, modernized and expanded surgical facilities including the establishment of a dedicated ambulatory surgery center, a new maternity unit, expanded education and administrative space, and improvements to numerous support service areas.
