The project is funded through a partnership of more than $29 million in public funding and private philanthropy including a $26 million New York State Transformation Grant and $3 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding from the city of Rome.

Their $5 million gift is the largest donation Rome Health has ever received and continues to inspire others to pledge their support.”

The foundation received leadership gifts from the Hinman family, the Griffin Charitable Foundation, and an anonymous donor. The Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties has pledged $250,000 toward the campaign when the foundation receives gifts from 100 new donors.

“The public funding and the diversity of the donors illustrate how much support there is for this project from new donors and long-time friends of the hospitals,” DiBari said.

Rome Health, a nonprofit health-care system, provides a range of services from primary to specialty care.
