The 242-bed Newburgh campus, founded in 1874 and currently located on Dubois Street, has a number of other service specialties as well. It is a regional center for neonatology, thanks to its Elaine Kaplan Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and offers pediatric subspecialties, in part through its affiliation with New York Presbyterian Hospital. The Newburgh campus also provides cardiac rehabilitation, pain management/palliative care, and a speech and swallowing center. A cardiac catheterization lab opened in February 2005. This is a small community hospital which can handle only very minor medical cases. Any illness or injury which is even slightly complicated, or has the potential to be complicated, is transfered to tertiary care hospitals. These tertiary care hospitals are sometimes 100 miles away. Sending patients this far can have a deleterious effect on not only their health, but their wallet too.
