Spring Valley, NY (May 19, 2025) – RefuahHealth officially broke ground earlier this month on a 20,000-square-foot Women’s Health Wing, a major expansion of its Main Street campus in New Square, NY—that will significantly enhance access to high-quality, comprehensive women’s health services for the Hudson Valley community.
The groundbreaking ceremony, held on Thursday, May 15, was attended by New York State Health Commissioner Dr. James V. McDonald, who joined organizational leaders, healthcare partners, and state officials to mark this pivotal moment in RefuahHealth’s continued investment in women’s health.
County, participate in the ceremonial groundbreaking for RefuahHealth’s new 20,000-square-foot Women’s Health Wing on May 15, 2025, at the Main Street campus in New Square, NY.
Commissioner McDonald delivered remarks at the event, recognizing Refuah’s role in delivering compassionate, community-centered care and celebrating the Center’s ongoing commitment to health equity.
The new 20,000-square-foot wing will allow RefuahHealth to expand its growing fertility program, enhance maternal and reproductive health services, and create additional space across the Main Street
site to support broader clinical operations.
“This is more than just an expansion,” said Chanie Sternberg, President & CEO of RefuahHealth. “It’s an investment in the future of women’s health—and a testament to our mission of providing care that is
both deeply personal and rooted in excellence.”
RefuahHealth’s Women’s Health Wing is supported in part by a federal Community Project Funding award, secured through the offices of Senators Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, and former
Representative Mondaire Jones. The funding will help leverage a portion of equipment expenses for the new facility, particularly those related to advanced fertility care and specialized women’s health services.
During his remarks, Commissioner McDonald praised RefuahHealth as a model for maternal care statewide:
“Your commitment to maternal health is really quite noticeable to me. You’re truly a role model for the rest of the state. You do things here that you may take for granted—things other parts of the state still see as aspirational or unattainable. It’s not one secret thing you do—it’s the hard work of solving people’s problems on an individual basis and tailoring solutions to their healthcare needs. Quite frankly, that’s
the hardest part of medicine.”
The new wing will house dedicated exam rooms, specialty care suites, and patient support areas designed to meet the needs of women across all stages of life. Construction is now underway, with anticipated completion in December 2026.
