A.O. Fox Memorial Hospital[2] is a not-for-profit medical facility located in Oneonta, New York.[3][4] Fox "is a general medical and surgical facility" that also is a teaching hospital.[5] They operate a "satellite emergency department" in nearby Sidney, New York.[6]
History
Aurelia Osborn Fox was born in Oneonta. She and her husband Reuben lived there. When she died in 1899, he contributed $10,000 to help found and fund the hospital named in her memory.[7]
Fox Memorial[8] was described in 1994 as a "burgeoning network of outpatient feeder clinics" fighting for "survival in an era of declining hospital use and shuttered hospitals."[9] The hospital, which has a nursing home unit,[10] had discussed affiliating with nearby "Mary I. Imogene Bassett Hospital in Cooperstown" in 1994, and then in 2008. In 2010 "a corporate affiliation" was initiated.[7] In 2017 an affiliation with Tri-Town Regional Hospital in Sidney, 23 miles from Fox, was initiated.[6] The latter is named A.O. Fox Memorial Hospital - Tri-Town Campus, Sidney.
