Center For Occupational Health

Our Mission is to improve the health of people in our region by providing access to exceptional, affordable, and patient-centered care every day and in every setting. Simply put, for more than 120 years, Glens Falls Hospital has served the region with high quality care in a community hospital setting.

The face of the American hospital was changing rapidly in the summer of 1897 when a group of 12 Glens Falls-area physicians began discussions regarding the establishment of a regional healthcare facility. Until that time, hospitals were often referred to as "almshouses, " places where the sick and poverty-stricken waited to die.

Philosophy: It is the belief of the professional nursing staff at Glens Falls Hospital that every patient and family has the right to holistic, compassionate, competent, ethical, quality health care throughout all stages of illness and health. The quality of that nursing care is enhanced by community involvement, continuing education, fiscal responsibility and evidence-based practice to improve outcomes across the continuum of care.

Section 2718(e) of the Public Health Service Act requires that each hospital operating within the United States, for each year, establish (and update) and make public a list of the hospital's standard charges for items and services provided by the Hospital. To comply with these reporting requirements Glens Falls Hospital is making available a machine-readable version of Glens Falls Hospital's gross charges, discounted cash prices, payer-specific negotiated charges, and de-identified minimum and maximum negotiated charges ( "Hospital's Standard Charges") as well as a separate Display of Shoppable Services.
