About Crouse Health

Crouse Health, with over 3,100 employees, is one of Central New York's largest employers. We serve more than 24,000 inpatients, 82,000 emergency services patients and more than 150,000 outpatients a year from a 16-county area in Central and Northern New York. Crouse is the region’s largest provider of maternity care services, averaging nearly 4,000 deliveries annually, and is the state-designated regional referral center for high-risk neonatal intensive care (NICU) services. Crouse also operates one of the longest-running and largest ambulatory surgery programs in the U.S. in two surgery centers near the main hospital complex. Phase 1 construction on the Witting Surgical Center, a three-floor, state-of-the-art facility, was completed in late 2010 with the opening of 11 new operating rooms. An additional three ORs opened in late 2011, completing this $50 million project. Other specialties include comprehensive diagnostic and interventional cardiac care (featuring the region’s only pediatric cardiac catheterization program); surgical services (including the latest advancements in bariatric and robotic surgery); orthopedics; neurosciences/stroke care (Crouse is a nationally certified Comprehensive Stroke Center, a NYS-designated stroke center and the first 'Gold Plus'​ stroke hospital in Syracuse); oncology; and the region's only hospital-based chemical dependency treatment services. Crouse Health also operates the Pomeroy College of Nursing, providing critical nursing education to more than 300 students annually.
