OSWEGO – On behalf of Oswego County residents, Oswego Health is excited to be awarded a $13 million grant from the New York State Department of Health that the health system will use to transform its behavioral health services in the county.

“This is wonderful news for Oswego Health,” said President and CEO Michael Harlovic. “I’d like to thank Governor Andrew Cuomo for recognizing the importance of providing exceptional behavioral health services locally and that health system is the healthcare leader to delivery these important needed services.”

“The continued development of behavioral health services is an important initiative of the health system’s board of directors and I look forward to working on the outlined improvements to our hospital and outpatient services,” Harlovic continued. “I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank our local, state and federal officials who helped achieve this grant award, along with Daniel Sheppard, NYSDOH Deputy Health Commissioner, Office of Primary Care and Health Systems, who worked diligently to make this happen and who I will personally thank when we meet in the upcoming weeks.”

Oswego Health has provided behavioral health services to county residents for more than 35 years.

The health system provides care at its BHS division at the Oswego County Building on Bunner Street in Oswego, and at its Child and Family Services Department on North Second Street in Fulton.
