New Hospital Facility - News | Livingston Hospital

Livingston Hospital officials, community leaders, and staff gathered on Thursday, April 23, 2026, to celebrate the groundbreaking of a new, modern hospital facility— marking a major milestone in expanding healthcare access and strengthening the future of rural care in Livingston County and the surrounding region.

The ceremony brought together local and state officials, hospital board members, employees, and members of the community to commemorate the start of a project designed to strengthen access to high-quality care close to home.

The new facility will include advanced technology, modernized clinical spaces, enhanced patient care areas, and expanded service offerings—allowing patients to access more services locally rather than traveling outside the region for care.

“Livingston Hospital has long been committed to serving this community with compassion and excellence,” said Shane Whittington, CEO of Livingston Hospital. “This new facility represents our continued investment in the health and well-being of our region. It allows us to grow alongside our community and ensure patients can receive high-quality care without having to travel far from home.”

Whittington noted that the project comes at a critical time for rural healthcare and reflects a strong commitment to protecting and expanding access to care.

“This support represents a powerful commitment to rural healthcare at a time when many rural hospitals are struggling,” Whittington said. “With this project, we are protecting access to high-quality care close to home—and expanding the depth and convenience of the services our communities need.”

Livingston Hospital remains a vital part of the local economy and a trusted provider of care, employing a dedicated team of healthcare professionals committed to meeting the needs of the community.

Construction is expected to continue in the coming months, with updates to be shared as the project progresses.
