BINGHAMTON, N.Y. — Lourdes Hospital in Binghamton is now officially part of the Guthrie Clinic.

The Sayre, Pennsylvania–based Guthrie on Thursday, Feb. 1 held an event to formally welcome Guthrie Lourdes Hospital, associated facilities, and affiliated caregivers and offices into the organization.

The ceremony “celebrated the beginning of a new era in quality health care in the Binghamton community,” Guthrie contended in a news release.

The Guthrie Clinic in June 2023 entered into an agreement to acquire Lourdes Hospital, its locations, and related physician practices.

“Lourdes has a rich history and an enduring legacy in the Southern Tier. It has been a place of hope, healing, and compassion for nearly a century — and today we remain committed to preserving and continuing this legacy,” Dr. Edmund Sabanegh, president and CEO of the Guthrie Clinic, said in the release. “Like Lourdes, Guthrie has a strong tradition of serving our communities, providing high quality care to patients where they are. By coming together, we enable the continuation of this joint tradition as we remain laser focused on delivering the highest quality care and access in the region.”

With the addition, Guthrie has nearly 1,000 physicians and advanced-practice providers serving 29 communities in Pennsylvania and New York.

The nonprofit Guthrie Clinic is multispecialty health system integrating clinical and hospital care along with research and education. Headquartered in Sayre, Pennsylvania, the Guthrie Clinic describes itself as one of the nation’s longest established group practices, founded in 1910 by Dr. Donald Guthrie.
