Crouse Health

Crouse Health, with over 3,100 employees, is one of Central New York's largest employers. We serve more than inpatients, emergency services patients and more than outpatients a year from a 16-county area in Central and Northern New York. Crouse is the region’s largest provider of maternity care services, averaging nearly deliveries annually, and is the state-designated regional referral center for high-risk neonatal intensive care (NICU) services. Crouse also operates one of the longest-running and largest ambulatory surgery programs in the U.S. in two surgery centers near the main hospital complex. Phase 1 construction on the Witting Surgical Center, a three-floor, state-of-the-art facility, was completed in late 2010 with the opening of 11 new operating rooms. An additional three ORs opened in late 2011, completing this $50 million project. Other specialties include comprehensive diagnostic and interventional cardiac care (featuring the region’s only pediatric cardiac catheterization program); surgical services (including the latest advancements in bariatric and robotic surgery); orthopedics; neurosciences/stroke care (Crouse is a nationally certified Comprehensive Stroke Center, a NYS-designated stroke center and the first 'Gold Plus' stroke hospital in Syracuse); oncology; and the region's only hospital-based chemical dependency treatment services. Crouse Health also operates the Pomeroy College of Nursing, providing critical nursing education to more than 300 students annually.
