‘Neighborhood’ Hospital To Open in Buffalo in 2023

Plans call for 60,000-square-foot facility, 8,000 square feet of medical office space, and a 278-car surface parking lot

By HFT Editorial Staff


Catholic Health broke ground recently on the new Lockport Memorial Hospital in Buffalo, N.Y., which will become an eastern campus of Mount St. Mary’s Hospital. The new hospital is expected to open during the second quarter of 2023.

In July, the Town of Lockport planning board approved Catholic Health’s site plans for the new hospital while the New York State Department of Health granted the health system’s certificate of need application. With local and state approval, acquisition of the land, and other regulatory approvals, Catholic Health is moving forward with the project constructing a 60,000-square-foot neighborhood hospital and a variety of physician offices.

The hospital will house emergency, inpatient medical, imaging, and laboratory services, as well as office space for primary care, women’s health, and other specialty medical practices. The neighborhood hospital concept creates a hospital that is right-sized for the local community providing emergency care and other needed services.

Plans call for developing 22 acres, which will include the hospital, 8,000 square feet of medical office space, a 278-car surface parking lot, and an adjacent helipad for emergency transport.

Catholic Health will continue its management agreement with Eastern Niagara Hospital until Lockport Memorial Hospital opens its doors as a campus of Mount St. Mary’s Hospital. At that time, Eastern Niagara will close under the terms of its bankruptcy.
