On Thursday, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a “transformational” $140 million investment in SBH Health System (formerly called St. Barnabas Hospital), which will increase emergency department capacity, upgrade equipment and expand community health partnerships at the 160-year-old institution.
SBH, located at 4422 3rd Ave. in the Bronx, sees 75,000 to 80,000 emergency department visits per year but was only designed for about 55,000, said Hochul.
