What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A candidate forum for the Albany County Hospital Board featured discussions on healthcare planning, specialist shortages, and the use of public tax money in Albany County. Steve Maguire, a current trustee, argued that the county nursing home, which is about 90 years old, should be replaced. He estimated that a replacement facility would cost approximately $45 million and take three years to construct. Guy Warpness, a former trustee, stated that his priority would be maintaining existing hospital services while supporting a study of a replacement nursing home.
