“Our Board has always focused on the best way to meet community health needs and this joining of two highly-regarded institutions committed to Central New York will help ensure the quality care our communities deserve,” said Patrick A. Mannion, Crouse Health Board Chair.
“Discussions between Crouse and Upstate have always revolved around creating the best environment possible for patients, medical professionals and dedicated staff. The Board determined that integration with a local partner was the best option for Crouse, and given our history, Upstate was the preferred choice, one that the community will embrace,” Mannion said.

The cultures at the two institutions have evolved in recent years, becoming similar in many ways, said Kimberly Boynton, CEO of Crouse Health. “In fact, the two cultures are more aligned now than they have ever been. Both organizations believe in mutual trust, respect, strong leadership and a shared commitment to providing the best in patient care.”
“Our combined expertise will enable us to deliver high quality, seamless patient care for Central New York and preserve jobs as we continue to benefit the economic health of the region,” said Mantosh Dewan, MD, president of Upstate. “Building upon our combined strengths will be a significant step in shaping the future growth of the region’s only academic medical center as we expand educational and training opportunities for the medical professionals of tomorrow. Moving forward, our exceptional medical staffs will continue to provide great value to our community as we work together to enhance patient care for our region.”
Both institutions are currently engaged in obtaining regulatory approvals, including a Certificate of Need from the New York State Department of Health, which is expected to take several months. During this time, the two institutions will remain independent and our respective focus will continue to be on patients, employees, medical staff, faculty and students.
