CORNING, N.Y. — The groundbreaking was held April 18 for the new $146 million Guthrie Corning Hospital, with construction on the 232,000-square-foot facility scheduled to begin in late June.

“This project truly represents a new era in patient care for the residents of the region,” said Shirley Magana, president of the Hospital.
