Chenango Memorial Hospital stands at 179 N. Broad Street in Norwich, NY, and it's part of the UHS network with United Health Services, managed by CEO Cecil M. Miller, III and directed by Dr. Richard M. Rigotti, so you get a wide range of care from emergency services staffed by doctors around the clock to specialty units like the five-bed ICU, a dedicated Oncology treatment and infusion center, and a maternity and obstetrics unit for women's health. The hospital's got a wing meant for short-term rehabilitation and a senior living center on the second floor that's specially designed for older adults, and everything is close together which makes it simpler for people who want things in one place. People can go to their primary care practices in Sidney, Sherburne, Oxford, and Norwich, and they always welcome new patients for same-day visits so you don't have to wait long to get seen. Chenango Memorial covers outpatient needs too, with a freestanding physical therapy and rehab center, walk-in care from Monday to Saturday, and diagnostic imaging that covers mammography, X-ray, magnetic resonance imaging, and more, plus laboratory services that go from simple blood tests to things like endocrinology, virology, and even toxicology, so lots of testing happens right on site.
The hospital offers care in cardiology, gastrointestinal or GI medicine, nephrology for the kidneys, orthopedics, and even psychology and neurology, which means they take care of both the body and mind, and they've got special programs and counseling for things like genetic issues, nutrition, hormone balancing, pregnancy loss, domestic violence, and family planning. They run an active Women's Health Center with support, education, imaging, and maternity consultations, and there's support for new mothers from before delivery through recovery. For surgery, they've got general, bariatric, and both inpatient and outpatient options, so folks can stay for care or go home the same day depending on what they need. Their lab's been around since 1952 and delivers all kinds of diagnostics, plus there's a medical library on site for reference and research.
Other details that stand out are their direct affiliation with important local government districts like NYS Senate District 51 and NYS Assembly District 121, a governing member level in the Union Hospital System, and connections with community providers for home health care and hospice through UHS Home Care. People find comfort knowing that there's always emergency help at any hour and that specialized equipment and services are available for just about any medical concern-hospital equipment and supplies, oncology needs, podiatry, nutrition help, and same-day appointments for urgent primary medical care. The staff, led by Cheryl Labar, works to make sure patients and residents get attention and support, and the hospital's been recognized with the 800 Award for online reputation in 2023 based on patient feedback. You'll find that almost everything is under one roof, from a short-term rehab wing to a place for older adults to live on the second floor, plus all sorts of imaging, therapy, and preventive medicine, all run by an established team in Chenango County.
