to construct a 96-specialty bed residential health care facility to serve young people aged 21 years and older aging out of pediatric residential health care facilities.

Earlier this month, multiple media outlets reported that The Elizabeth Seton Pediatric Center has announced plans to construct a $118-million facility for young adults on its expanding White Plains medical campus. The development site comprises around 23 acres and was once home to St. Agnes Hospital, according to a New York YIMBY report. The site currently also includes The Bristal at White Plains, an assisted living and memory care facility.

Administered by the State Department of Health and the Dormitory Authority of the State of New York, the Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program will help to improve patient care by supporting high-quality facilities serving the inpatient, primary care, mental health, substance use disorder and long-term care needs of communities throughout the state.

The funding to improve hospital care was awarded under the second phase of the Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program III and the first phase of Statewide Health Care Facility Transformation Program IV. In total, New York State has awarded nearly $1.68 billion in total funding through the program. The state will award an additional $1.15 billion through additional phases of Statewide IV. Additionally, Gov. Kathy Hochul’s FY 2024 Executive Budget  ncludes $1 billion in additional funding to establish Statewide V.
