Schenectady coalition to host forum on proposed Ellis-St. Peter’s hospital merger | The Daily Gazette SECTIONS By Shenandoah Briere |
Community members will have an opportunity March 4 to voice concerns or raise questions about the merger between Schenectady’s Ellis Medicine and Albany’s St. Peter’s Health Partners during a forum put on by the Schenectady Coalition for Healthcare Access. “The people of our community may not be aware that this partnership is being finalized,” said Legislator Michelle Ostrelich in a news release sent Thursday on the forum. “It is the responsibility of this coalition to inform the public of the immense impact this partnership will have on people living in and around Schenectady County — and to ensure that both institutions take the necessary steps to preserve healthcare access.”
