Upstate University Hospital

Upstate University Hospital is a 752-bed non-profit, teaching hospital located in Syracuse, New York. Upstate University Hospital is the flagship hospital of the Upstate Health System. As the hospital is a teaching hospital, it is affiliated with the Norton College of Medicine at State University of New York Upstate Medical University. The hospital is also an American College of Surgeons verified Level 1 Trauma Center, the only in the region and one of 21 in New York. Attached to the hospital is the Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital that treats infants, children, teens, and young adults aged 0–21.

While the affiliated medical school, Norton College of Medicine, had existed for years prior, the plan to operate a medical center affiliated with the university was thought of as far back as 1915, when university Dean, John Heffron proposed the idea.

Years later on May 19, 1951, the plans for the new University Hospital were approved, laying the groundwork for the construction of the hospital.

On July 1, 1961, ground was broken for the construction of the Upstate University Hospital. The hospital opened in 1965 with 375 beds under the name "State University Hospital" at a total cost of $20 million ($204 million in 2025).

In June 1976, hospital officials established the Upstate Medical Center Foundation to accept donations to help advance patient care to underserved communities. In 1984, the foundation funded the construction of a new pediatric intensive care unit with a capacity of seven beds at a cost of $1 million.

In November 1994, the new East Wing of Upstate University Hospital was opened and used a staggered occupancy plan.

In 2003, plans to expand the East Wing vertically five floors were approved with a planned cost of $84 million. In 2006, the expanded East wing opened becoming the Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital thanks to a $6 million gift from local philanthropist, Tom Golisano. Ultimately, the new children's hospital opened in 2009 at a cost of $150 million with 71 private rooms and 87,000 square feet of space.

In 2020, hospital officials announced that Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital would treat non-covid adult patients, expanding their age limit to age 30.
