New HealthAlliance Hospital Will Deliver Advanced Diagnostic Care, Comfortably

Advanced Diagnostic Confidence with a Dose of Comfort.

The testing that goes with handling an injury or diagnosing illness can make anyone anxious. Even a routine screening can cause some nervousness about what might be found. It’s important to get critical testing right, quickly, and have the experience be as comfortable as possible.

Westchester Medical Center Health Network (WMCHealth), and Royal Philips a global leader in health technology, have a partnership that will deliver advanced medical technology — and advanced diagnostic confidence and comfort — at the new HealthAlliance Hospital in Kingston.

When the new hospital opens on Mary’s Avenue, our community will have access to this technology in a new imaging center that is designed to create a calm and positive medical experience. Special lighting, visuals and sound, will provide positive distractions and give patients more control of their care environment. Additionally, patients will find the latest connected monitoring systems, as well as diagnostic imaging technology such as CT with lower radiation doses, and MRI that enables scans to be completed up to 50% faster than earlier technology.

The advanced technology at HealthAlliance Hospital will enable real time care collaboration between physicians based here and subspecialists around WMCHealth. Many of the health technologies found in the new HealthAlliance Hospital are the same systems used at WMCHealth’s Westchester Medical Center, as well as at other advanced hospitals around the world.

According to Michael Doyle, MD, Executive Director and Chief Medical Officer at HealthAlliance Hospital, “The new hospital and the accompanying Philips partnership are part of WMCHealth’ s ongoing effort to equip our network with the newest medical systems and provide the best patient experience possible. We are bringing some of the world’s most advanced medical technology to Ulster County to deliver high quality care right here — from routine screenings, to serious emergencies.”

HealthAlliance Hospital on Mary’s Avenue to Open December 14

WMCHealth expects to open the new HealthAlliance Hospital on December 14. This is a key component of a $134.9 million Ulster County healthcare advancement plan initiated by WMCHealth, in cooperation with New York State, to consolidate the operations of the two HealthAlliance Hospitals in Kingston.

Then, in the next phase of this plan, WMCHealth will convert the HealthAlliance Hospital on Broadway into a walkable health village, where HealthAlliance will collaborate with community partners to deliver preventive and primary healthcare services.
