Alice Hyde Medical Center[1][2][3] (Malone) is a 76-bed[4] medical facility in upstate New York that also operates a nursing home.[5][6]
History[edit]
Alice Hyde Memorial Hospital opened in 1913;[7] in 1999 they renamed to Alice Hyde Medical Center. Alice Hyde is part of University of Vermont Health Network (UVM) and a major local employer.[8] They participate in contracting outside medical service, such as for upstate prisons.[9]
The Alice Hyde Nursing Home opened in 1968. It has since been replaced with the 2015-opened The Alice Center, which has a separate assisted-living facility.
Controversy: Capital case patients[edit]
On June 28, 2015, David Sweat, an escaped convicted murderer, was brought to the hospital after being shot by law enforcement searchers. His imprisonment was for killing an on-duty law enforcement officer.[10][11][12]
That same day an 81 year old prisoner, "the longest-serving inmate in New York state," who had escaped capital punishment in 1962 by accepting a life sentence, was brought to the hospital after allegedly being given a deliberate overdose of medication not even prescribed for him. The hospital had written "accidental overdose" on his medical chart and his medical records were denied to him. A medical negligence case followed.[13][14][15] He had killed a 14 year old girl.
