Construction of the Brenda Fareri Pavilion, Westchester Medical Center’s new critical care tower, continues to advance steadily! This month marks a major milestone with the arrival of the crane and the pulling of structural steel. Framing is set to begin imminently, with the final beam placement targeted for this December. Completion of the project is anticipated by the end of 2026. Once complete, the tower will feature 128 negative pressure, ICU-ready, private patient rooms — setting a new standard for patient care in the region.
The Brenda Fareri Pavilion will provide thousands of Hudson Valley residents with more immediate and expanded access to the most advanced care and technology, much closer to their home communities. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of critically ill patients transferred to Westchester Medical Center from other hospitals throughout the region — today almost 14,000 annually or more than one patient per hour, 365 days a year. This project is a direct response to this increase and will expand WMC’s critical care bed capacity and services to effectively manage the incoming transfer pressure and better serve the region.
