THE BURDETT CARE CENTER ("BURDETT CARE") IS A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HOSPITAL IN TROY, NEW YORK THAT COMMENCED OPERATIONS ON OCTOBER 1, 2011. BURDETT CARE IS LOCATED ON THE SECOND FLOOR OF SAMARITAN HOSPITAL, IN NEW CONDOMINIUM SPACE PREVIOUSLY OCCUPIED BY SAMARITAN'S MATERNITY DEPARTMENT. BURDETT CARE IS DEDICATED TO MATERNITY AND REPRODUCTIVE SERVICES, OTHER THAN ABORTION. BURDETT CARE WAS FORMED TO OFFER HIGH QUALITY MATERNITY SERVICES TO WOMEN IN THE AREA AND TO PRESERVE ACCESS BY THOSE WOMEN TO REPRODUCTIVE SERVICES IN CONJUNCTION WITH MATERNITY SERVICES. THE BURDETT CARE CONCEPT AROSE OUT OF MERGER DISCUSSIONS AMONG NORTHEAST HEALTH, ST PETER'S HEALTH CARE SERVICES, AND SETON HEALTH SYSTEM. THE MERGER PARTIES AGREED THAT NORTHEAST HEALTH WOULD REMAIN SECULAR IN CONNECTION WITH ITS AFFILIATION WITH THE TWO CATHOLIC SYSTEMS, BUT THAT NORTHEAST HEALTH AND ITS AFFILIATES, INCLUDING SAMARITAN HOSPITAL WOULD ABIDE BY THE ETHICAL AND RELIGIOUS DIRECTIVES FOR CATHOLIC HEALTH CARE SERVICES (THE "ERDS"). THE MERGER PARTIES FURTHER AGREED THAT, IN ORDER TO PURSUE THE MERGER OF HEALTH SYSTEMS WHILE PRESERVING REPRODUCTIVE SERVICES IN TROY, A NEW HOSPITAL - LATER NAMED THE BURDETT CARE CENTER - WOULD BE FORMED WITHIN THE SAMARITAN FACILITY, WITH AN INDEPENDENT GOVERNING BOARD, INDEPENDENT MEDICAL STAFF, AND INDEPENDENT NURSING STAFF. BURDETT CARE IS NOT BOUND BY ERDS.BURDETT CARE IS A 15-BED HOSPITAL FACILITY PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY INPATIENT AND OUTPATIENT REPRODUCTIVE SERVICES INCLUDING MATERNITY, LABOR, DELIVERY, NURSERY, CONTRACEPTIVE AND STERILIZATION. IN 2020 BURDETT CARE DELIVERED 734 BABIES, AND NO STERILIZATION AS THIS WAS DISCONTINUED IN SEPT 2019.
