OSWEGO — Oswego Health is renovating the third and fourth floors of Oswego Hospital and is getting some help to pay for the work.

The organization will use a $25,000 grant from Stewart’s Shops and the Dake family to help pay for the project.

Oswego Health describes itself as the largest nonprofit health-care system in Oswego County. Based in Saratoga Springs, Stewart’s Shops operates convenience stores throughout upstate New York.

Construction work on the third and fourth floors of Oswego Hospital is set to finish in January, Oswego Health said. Once complete, the nurse’s station on both floors will be relocated, allowing for more immediate access to the care staff.

“Most importantly,” many of the patient rooms will be private, “which will solve what patients and their physicians fear most during a hospital stay: infection, exhaustion, and noise,” Oswego Health said.

“Stewart’s is committed to giving back to all our shops’ communities,” Susan Dake, president of the Stewart’s Foundation, said. “Helping to ensure peoples’ health with a donation to the Oswego Health Foundation for the hospital renovation is an important part of that commitment.”

The Campaign for Oswego Health is “focused on a future with best-in-class care” for Oswego County’s residents. To date, community members, foundations, and corporations have contributed nearly $3 million toward the overall $3.5 million goal.
