The Sign Says It All.

Construction of the addition to Rome Health hospital, is continuing. Much more noticeable progress each week than the glacial speed of construction at Rome City Hall.
Hayner-Hoyt Corporation, is the construction contractor. Located in Syracuse, New York on Salina street. Created in 1966, when Richard Hoyt, left the family business(construction), to start his own light commercial construction company. He met Don Hayner, through the Home Builders Association, and that became the start of Hayner-Hoyt.
If you visit the Hayner-Hoyt Corporation website, you can view many image descriptions, of their various construction projects including Turning Stone casino, Utica College, Syracuse University, Project SKY warehouse, lakeview Center for mental health(We all could use that), The Lakehouse at Sylvan Beach, Colgate University, and the list goes on. Check-it-out.
The 45.7 million-dollar project is for a new three-story intensive care unit, and surgical services. Completion is set for 2026. Gonna be a while. What Rome Health needs is a better equipped emergency section and trauma unit. Rome, New York has it's own hospital, but if you suffer trauma, you will be stabilized and then sent most likely to Syracuse. Even the costly Wynn hospital, still transports trauma patients to Syracuse or Rochester. Oneida County, needs a full-service, full-time, 24-hour trauma care unit, and surgery. Not just a 9-5, standard.
Rome Health, should also be equipped with at least a part-time Optician, since us Copper City residents with eye-problems, have to go to Utica or Syracuse, for treatments. Opticians, in Rome, NY accept very few insurances. And city government does little to remedy the problem(because they don't care)Why is that? Do you care?
