Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center

Claxton-Hepburn Medical Center is a private, not-for-profit healthcare organization based in Ogdensburg, New York that operates hospital and outpatient healthcare services for the North Country. As of October 2024, the medical center transitioned to a standalone psychiatric hospital focused on acute inpatient mental health services for adults and children, while the affiliated Claxton-Hepburn Medical Campus provides emergency and acute care through a 25-bed critical access hospital and observation unit. The organization also supports regional cancer, wound-healing, renal dialysis, primary care, imaging, laboratory, and convenient care services. Claxton-Hepburn is part of the North Star Health Alliance with Carthage Area Hospital and other regional providers, reflecting a community-healthcare delivery model rather than a drug-development business.
