E.J. Noble Hospital

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

E.J. Noble Hospital is one of a series of names used by three medical facilities in New York (state) that have since become part of St. Lawrence Health System. These facilities, and a foundation, are named after Edward John Noble.[1]

History[edit]

E.J. Noble Hospital opened its doors in 1952"[2] in Canton. When this location closed as a hospital, its name was EJ Noble of Canton.[3]

A second Noble Hospital location was in Alexandria Bay, and its names had included Edward John Noble Samaritan.[4][5][6]

A third was the Noble hospital in Gouverneur, New York.[7]

A New York State database lists these hospitals as closed,[7] yet as of 2020, the above are still operating under the St. Laurence/EJ Noble/Gouverneur names as medical facilities/doctor offices.[8] Kinney Nursing Home is part of the EJ Noble facilities.[9]

The American Hospital Directory shows only the following certified hospitals: Gouverneur Hospital in Gouverneur, River Hospital in Alexandria Bay, and Canton-Potsdam Hospital in Potsdam.[10]

E.J. Noble Samaritan[edit]

During the 2010s, when Noble had some financial difficulties, Samaritan Medical Center was supervising some of their units, and the name E.J. Noble Samaritan was temporarily used for Noble.[11][12]
