LeChase Construction Continues Work On Hospital Expansion in Catskills

WALTON, NY—LeChase Construction Services reported recently that it is building a four-story addition to UHS Delaware Valley Hospital in Walton, NY, that will consolidate services into a state-of- the-art Medical Neighborhood.

The structure, with a façade of insulated metal panels and aluminum- framed glass, will become the tallest building in the town upon its completion, expected in fall 2027. Once finished, the Medical Neighborhood will bring expanded primary and specialty care, advanced diagnostics, modernized clinical spaces, and new wellness and education programming all under one roof for the people of Delaware County. Chianis + Anderson Architects is designing the project, which broke ground in October 2025.

“LeChase is gratified to continue our partnership with United Health Services to help advance healthcare throughout the region,” said Project Executive Paul Klinko. “With our vast experience and deep expertise in building and renovating hospitals and other healthcare facilities, we understand the importance of applying the highest standards of construction to ensure patient safety and comfort.” LeChase, which is headquartered in Rochester, NY, with an office in Armonk, NY, also recently completed renovations and construction of the new tower at the UHS Wilson Medical Center in Johnson City, NY. That expansion received a 2025 Regional Best Project award in the healthcare category from ENR New York.

According to UHS, the Delaware Valley expansion is designed to transform care delivery in the region by uniting advanced services, modern technology and a patient-centered environment under one roof. The project is supported by a $20 million grant from the New York State Department of Health through the Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program. UHS said the addition will consolidate a wide range of services that include: primary medical care, specialty medical services, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, laboratory and blood-draw services, building services and support functions. These services are now provided in buildings located throughout the campus along Stockton Avenue (Route 206). Once the Medical Neighborhood is completed, crews will raze the current primary care building.
