On August 22, 2016 at 08:00, the new Midstate Agency/Provider Database will go live. In order to migrate to the new system, the current system will not be available starting at 19:00 on August 19, 2016. Over the weekend, all the agency, provider, test, Regional CME and other data will be moved. This time period is needed for the migration due to the volume of data being imported into the new site.

Directions will be available on the Midstate website. Your user name will now be your email address.

Your current password will remain the same in the new system. Please login to the current site before 8/19 and make sure your current email address and contact information is correct.

Just a quick reminder we are making the transition to our new pediatric ED on Tuesday the 9^th at 0700. 

Renovations to existing pediatric ED to accommodate expansion of the adult ED. Once completed we will typically see higher acuity patients on the “A” side (current adult ED) while the “B” side will see less acute patients. Starting off our B side will see normal operations from 0800-midnight. We are striving to reduce wait times and transition to triage patients at the bedside.

The CFR class is a NYS Department of Health Bureau of EMS state certification program that will begin on Sunday September 11, 2016 and complete with a state certification exam on Thursday November 17, 2016.  This Sunday only class will start at 10AM and is scheduled to finish at 4PM.  Register online of call 738-8351 for more information
