Report to the Community 2013
LOOKING
FORWARD
MOVING
AHEAD
A New Era in Phelps History
S
ince its opening in 1955, Phelps Memorial Hospital Center
has become uniquely successful at integrating the latest
medical procedures with well-established practices. This legacy
continues as Phelps fulfills its bold new vision that will enhance
existing facilities and create new spaces that will be home to the best
that medicine has to offer.
SurgiCenter lobby – Opening Fall 2014
This fall, Phelps will open its new SurgiCenter. The facility is the only inpatient and outpatient operating suite in New
York State located in a medical office building. The spacious operating rooms were designed to accommodate changing
technology for decades to come. It is one of only two surgical suites in the State to integrate the extraordinary STERIS
RealView Visual Workflow Management Software. STERIS RealView provides a system for keeping all SurgiCenter medical
staff and, most importantly, family members, informed on a patient’s status in real-time throughout the surgical experience.
Additionally, Phelps will soon begin construction on
a conveniently located and expanded MRI facility.
With an outside entrance, the suite will have convenient
patient access and will feature two MRI machines,
facilitating scheduling and availability. Concurrently,
the hospital will begin work on a stunning new main
lobby that will feature a weather-protected patient
drop-off area.
Construction of SurgiCenter under way
Our future MRI facility – expanded and convenient
This year the hospital will embark on the most ambitious
project in its history – the new West Wing Expansion –
a patient tower designed to house the latest medical
advances for delivering quality patient care, today
and in the future. The tower will feature 52 state-of-theart private patient care rooms. All of these projects will
transform the way Phelps delivers healthcare for
generations to come.
Special thanks to BBL Construction Services, LLC
for their design and craftsmanship of these facilities.

Community Support for Phelps’ Future Soars in 2013
T
he strategic vision at Phelps is about more than bricks and mortar. It signifies the
hospital’s commitment to provide compassionate and exceptional care.
Philanthropic support is critical to the success of these projects. It will help significantly in reducing
the need for financing and the accumulation of debt, thereby enabling Phelps to maintain its
strong financial position, to continue to respond to changes in the healthcare industry and, most
importantly, to meet community needs for generations to come.
In 2013, Phelps’ Board of Directors authorized a fundraising planning
study. Through in-person strategic discussions, focus groups and e-survey
responses an initial goal of $25 million was established for The Campaign
for Phelps Memorial Hospital Center. Since then, we have begun the
formation of a Campaign Cabinet and are thrilled to report that we have
already raised over $4.5 million toward the West Wing project. It is our honor
to acknowledge both the Campaign Cabinet and those individuals who have
already pledged their significant support to the project.

Phelps ranked among top hospitals
in patient satisfaction
Patient satisfaction is a critical measure of how we serve
our community. Through patient surveys administered by
an independent auditor, we are able to see how well we
do our job and identify areas for improvement.
We are thrilled to report that in 2013 Phelps received
its highest scores ever in patient satisfaction. Overall,
Phelps was ranked in the 84th percentile nationally and
95th percentile in New York State. An incredible 99% of
patients surveyed would recommend Phelps to a friend
or family member.
We are glad so many of you have had a good experience
at Phelps and appreciate you recommending us to your
family and friends!
