History

The cornerstone for what was formerly known as Ilion Hospital[4][5] and subsequently Mohawk Valley General Hospital[1][2] (sometimes referred to as Mohawk Valley Hospital)[3] was laid in 1908.[6] In 1981, when New York State attempted to merge Mohawk with Herkimer County's two other hospitals, there were two obstacles: The smallest of the three was privately owned, the largest of them was owned by a village, and Mohawk was owned by the adjoining towns of "German Flatts and Frankfort."[6][3] Deficits accumulated, and in 1991 operation of the hospital was given to Faxton St. Luke's Healthcare, a multi-site health system that subsequently affiliated with still other hospitals.[7]

The hospital was closed,[8] and the building was sold to St. Luke's for conversion to medical/dental offices.[6] Another hospital, in an adjacent county, is planned for completion in 2023.[9]
