Strong Memorial Hospital (URMC) in Rochester will also benefit from an MMT, Hochul’s office said. The MMTs “will assist over stressed hospital staff and systems over the coming weeks,” the office added.

In addition to the new teams set to arrive in Syracuse and Rochester, Hochul also announced a 30-day extension of the existing MMT deployment at Erie County Medical Center in Buffalo, which will now last through March 10.
