More hospice care clinics in Binghamton
Guthrie Clinic is a multi-hospital health system with a 2025 annual revenue around $300 million. It expanded by acquiring Our Lady of Lourdes Memorial Hospital in 2023 and operates with offices across the U.S., including several in Pennsylvania and New York (HQ at One Guthrie Square, Sayre, PA). The organization partners with local hospitals and health systems (e.g., Arnot Health, UPMC, Geisinger) and distributes talent across affiliated facilities. For Lourdes Hospital specifically, Guthrie’s network appears to be the parent system connected to Lourdes through the 2023 acquisition, and Lourdes is a primary local partner in the Twin Tiers region. If you’re seeking Lourdes Hospital’s palliative care within Guthrie’s system, you likely access it via Guthrie-affiliated sites in Binghamton, Sayre (HQ), Corning, or nearby Guthrie locations, rather than a standalone Lourdes palliative program. For precise services, contact Guthrie’s patient services or Lourdes-related care coordinators at Guthrie’s Sayre HQ or the Binghamton/Towanda area offices.
