A New Hospital for Our Region
We have an exciting once in a lifetime opportunity to see a new hospital built in our community. The brand new regional hospital will replace acute inpatient services at the Brooks Campus and expand access and improve quality care for a broader, more diverse patient base.
We hope to see groundbreaking on our state-of-the-art 29 bed acute care hospital in the Village of Fredonia.

Brooks-TLC Gets Extension on Purchase Option for Site of New Hospital
Brooks-TLC Hospital System, Inc. was recently given a six-month reprieve from its deadline to complete the purchase of property – the site of the new hospital building – in the Village of Fredonia.
The property, currently a grape field off East Main Street, is still owned by Cornell Cooperative Extension, which granted the extension. Brooks-TLC’s contract to purchase was set to expire November 30.
“The contract was amended and extended through June 1, 2023 and we are grateful to Cornell for that,” stated Brooks-TLC President and CEO Ken Morris. “We remain hopeful the New York State Department of Health will approve the building project and release the project funds awarded in 2016.
Brooks-TLC in June received a one-year site plan extension requested of the Fredonia Planning Board.
