Ira Davenport Memorial Hospital [1] [2] is a century-old medical facility in upstate New York that in 2011 [3] became part of the Arnot Health System. [4]
Major funds for the hospital came from the closing of an orphanage that ran for 94 years which was founded by Ira Davenport. [5] [6] These funds enlarged and enhanced a 1910-founded hospital located in Bath, New York previously known as Bath Hospital. [6] In 1990 a 120-bed nursing home named Fred & Harriett Taylor Health Center was opened adjacent to the hospital. The combined complex was renamed Davenport & Taylor Medical Center. [7] [3]
They're regarded as a rural hospital, and receive funding from the Federal Low Volume Hospital [8] funding program, [9] that enables such facilities to have an MRI machine in a region that would otherwise have none. [10]
