Letter to the Editor: Skoufis secured vital hospital funding

I would like to thank our State Senator, James Skoufis, for attaining a large amount of state funding for our local hospital.

Senator Skoufis helped secure an $11.9 million commitment for the hospital from the New York State Department of Health in order to help expand the Cornwall campus.

As a senior citizen, I appreciate and understand the need for improved local health care services. For years, Senator Skoufis has fought to maintain and improve those services.

Sincerely,

Mark Scott
