Community Invited to Develop Guiding Principles for Integrated Health Campus
UTICA, N.Y. – The Mohawk Valley Health System (MVHS) invites the community to attend an information session and community dialogue event regarding the development of the new downtown health campus on Tuesday, January 10, 2017. Two sessions will be held in the Grande Ballroom at the Radisson Hotel-Utica Centre: 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The goal of this event is to provide a forum for community members to receive a project update and enable them to participate in the development of the project’s guiding principles. Guiding principles describe the community's beliefs and philosophy regarding what a new hospital facility and integrated health care campus in the downtown location should strive to achieve. Participants at the meeting will work together to develop factors for the Project Steering Committee to consider throughout the planning and design phases.
“This new health campus is an exciting opportunity for our region and we want the community to be involved,” said Scott H. Perra, FACHE, president/CEO of MVHS. “The guiding principles identified at this event will highlight key areas that our Project Steering Committee will consider as the development process advances.”
The Radisson was selected because it allows for a large group presentation and breakout groups. Should the event exceed capacity, additional meetings will be scheduled. For those who are unable to attend, the presentation portion of the event will be posted at www.mvhealthsystem.org, and questions or comments may be submitted to community@mvhealthsystem.org.
This event is one of many community input opportunities planned as the project advances. Ongoing outreach formats include individual meetings, group presentations and neighborhood and community-wide forums.
