The NEW Brooks Memorial Hospital Announcement, 2024

Governor Kathy Hochul announced in June 2024, along with hospital leadership, community stakeholders and organized labor announced an agreement with Kaleida Health and Brooks-TLC Health Systems to build a new hospital in the Village of Fredonia in Chautauqua County. Governor Hochul’s administration has been working with Kaleida Health on terms of an agreement and plan to move forward with construction of the new hospital replacing the Brooks-TLC in the City of Dunkirk. This site is enabled by a newly established Health Care Safety Net Transformation Program included by the Governor in this year's Budget to encourage partnerships that improve the resilience of safety-net institutions by providing strategic capital and operating support, in addition to required regulatory flexibility. The new Brooks Hospital project will be supported by $74 million from the State that was previously committed. Kaleida and Brooks-TLC will work together to build the new hospital, which is expected to open within 3 years.
