UTICA, N.Y. — Officials from the Mohawk Valley Health System (MVHS) and the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties have released an online survey for members of the community to provide feedback on what they think should happen to the current MVHS campuses.
“Since we announced the new hospital project, one of the main questions from the community has been ‘what will happen to the old facilities,’ “ Robert Scholefield, executive VP/COO for MVHS, said in a news release. “The online survey will allow all community members to give input.”
To ensure a fair and comprehensive survey, participants are only permitted to take the survey one time. The deadline to take the survey is Aug. 5.

About the study
MVHS in February said it’s working with Albany–based CHA Consulting, Inc. to perform an evaluation of the potential repurposing of current MVHS facilities.
CHA is an Albany–based engineering-consulting firm that has an office in Syracuse.
The repurposing project looks at the potential reuse of the three main MVHS campuses: St. Luke’s, St. Elizabeth, and Faxton.
MVHS, the Community Foundation and CHA Consulting, Inc., has already spoken with and sought feedback from local neighboring businesses, residents, young professionals, community organizations, and elected officials.
Based on prior assessments, MVHS has indicated the Faxton campus — which provides cancer treatment, outpatient rehabilitation and a variety of other services — will likely remain open; however, Faxton will be included in the study to ensure that keeping it open best meets the needs of MVHS and the community.
CHA’s scope of services for the study, which has been in progress since February, includes five broad components for the three MVHS campuses: market research and analysis, zoning analysis, hazardous material assessment, preliminary conditions assessment, and redevelopment-scenario analysis.
Incorporating these components into the repurposing project will help MVHS develop a plan for the facilities that “fits in” with the long-term development plans of the surrounding municipalities and allows the facilities to become “positive economic contributors to the area,” per the release.
