By 2025, the hospital will also be treating adults in a newly renovated 20‑bed inpatient psychiatry unit, which will complement its existing psychiatric emergency program and its adult and adolescent partial hospitalization programs, and further expand treatment for mental illness in Ulster County.

In addition to its expanded hospital on Mary’s Avenue in Kingston, HAHV also provides services at its nearby Broadway Campus, and operates Margaretville Hospital and Mountainside Residential Care Center in Margaretville. As Ulster County’s largest employer, HAHV is committed to attracting the best‑qualified medical and support staff; providing outstanding, responsive, coordinated, compassionate patient‑ and family‑centered care; excelling in clinical outcomes and patient experiences;

and ensuring patient rights, privacy and respect are honored at all times, while improving the overall health and well‑being of the diverse communities it serves.

As part of WMCHealth, HAHV’s patients and clinicians also benefit from a comprehensive network of behavioral health services that has provided care for the Hudson Valley for more than 90 years. WMCHealth offers a full spectrum of inpatient, outpatient, community, and emergency care for individuals and families.
