The State Hospital Review & Planning Council are expected to accept the recommendations at its April 8 meeting. With the approval, the total designated centers statewide will grow to 120. Currently, Niagara Falls Memorial Hospital is the only hospital in Niagara, Orleans, or Genesee counties designated in the state program.
