Assemblyman Patrick Carroll Secures $100,000 CREST Grant for Montefiore Nyack Hospital’s Electrical Infrastructure Project
Montefiore Nyack Hospital and the Montefiore Nyack Foundation are pleased to announce a $100,000 New York State Community Resiliency, Economic Sustainability, and Technology (CREST) grant secured through Assemblyman Patrick Carroll to support critical electrical infrastructure improvements on the Hospital’s sixth floor.
The grant, combined with a $183,700 commitment from the Montefiore Nyack Foundation, will fully fund the $283,700 project. Improvements include modernization of electrical distribution systems, expanded emergency power capacity and essential life-safety upgrades designed to strengthen the Hospital’s ability to maintain uninterrupted patient care.
The sixth-floor project is the latest milestone in a comprehensive, multiyear electrical infrastructure resiliency initiative that began in 2023, when the New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services (DHSES) awarded the Hospital $4.8 million toward the installation of a hospital-wide emergency generator system. This significant investment was designed to strengthen the Hospital’s emergency power capabilities and help ensure continuity of patient care during power outages, severe weather and other emergencies. The new generator is expected to arrive in December.
Since that time, Montefiore Nyack Hospital, with substantial financial support from the Montefiore Nyack Foundation, has continued advancing critical infrastructure improvements throughout its campus. These efforts include modernization of aging electrical systems and flood mitigation measures to better protect the Hospital’s facilities, patients and staff.
“The Montefiore Nyack Foundation is proud to partner with Assemblyman Carroll in making this critical infrastructure project a reality,” said Paul Adler, Esq., Chair of the Montefiore Nyack Foundation Board of Directors. “Our commitment of $183,700, combined with the Assemblyman’s $100,000 award, fully funds these essential improvements and reflects our ongoing investment in the safety and well-being of our patients, staff and community. We are grateful for his support as we continue strengthening the Hospital’s infrastructure to ensure reliable, uninterrupted care for generations to come.”
As Rockland County’s only Level III Trauma Center, Montefiore Nyack Hospital provides essential healthcare services to residents throughout Rockland County and the Lower Hudson Valley. Reliable electrical infrastructure is vital to ensuring that critical medical equipment, emergency services and patient-care operations can continue functioning during unexpected disruptions.
Montefiore Nyack Foundation was one of ten nonprofit organizations selected to receive funding through this New York State initiative.
The Hospital and Foundation extend their sincere appreciation to Assemblyman Carroll for his commitment to strengthening healthcare infrastructure and supporting the health and well-being of the community.
New York State Assemblyman Patrick Carroll presents a $100,000 CREST grant to Montefiore Nyack Hospital in support of its sixth-floor electrical infrastructure resiliency project. The Montefiore Nyack Foundation will contribute an additional $183,700 to fully fund the $283,700 project.
