The old hospital on Church Street, seen here on Tuesday, April 20, will be demolished to make way for a new state Olympic Regional Development Authority office building. Now owned by the town of North Elba, it opened as the Placid Memorial Hospital in 1951. It was operated as the Adirondack Medical Center from 1991 to 2019, when it was vacated by Adirondack Health and other tenants as offices and the part-time emergency room moved to the new Lake Placid Health and Medical Fitness Center on Old Military Road.

While White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki signaled on Wednesday that the United States is not discussing a boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, we can t say for sure if that will forever remain the case. The spokesman of the State Department, Ned Price, said on Tuesday that a boycott was something that we certainly wish to discuss with allies.
As I said, we don’t have any announcement regarding the Beijing Olympics. 2022 remains a ways off, but we will continue to consult closely with allies and partners to define our common concerns and establish our shared approach to the PRC. Ned Price (@StateDeptSpox) April 6, 2021
