“Clearly, Yonkers needs this expansion and modernization of emergency room capacity. The St. John’s health network plays a vital role in the health of Yonkers residents as well as the economic well-being of the City of Yonkers,” said Mayor Mike Spano.

St. John’s Riverside Hospital today announced that it will file an application with the New York State Department of Health for $10 million in Vital Access Provider (VAP) Grant funds to restructure and expand the Emergency Department (ED) at St. John’s Andrus Pavilion in Yonkers.
