Herkimer Memorial Hospital [1] [2] [3] was a 70-bed located in Herkimer County, New York. [4] In 1981, an oversight agency determined that this hospital, "the smallest of three serving the Mohawk Valley, should be converted from an acute-care facility into a nursing home." None of them wished to change. Herkimer closed [5] in 1983. [6]
Herkimer "opened in 1925, completed a substantial addition in 1965" and, along with the other pair of local hospitals, "It is generally agreed that all three hospitals in the valley take good care of their patients." [4] Herkimer Memorial Hospital was, at the time of its closing, still "the largest employer in the village." The hospital's staff included 21 physicians [4] and 40 nurses; [7] they had an "intensive cardiac care" unit.
Valley Health Services (VHS) "opened on April 1, 1984 with 32 beds" as a nursing home for long-term care, using the Herkimer facility; [8] a month later this increased to 64 beds, and subsequently 128 and then 160. By 2017 they had also added an additional 32 beds for specialized care short-term rehab. [8]
