Community
Watertown, NY Jefferson County
-The town has a population of 30,000+ and is situated in Northern New York just west of Lake Ontario. Our service area is approximately 200,000. Some of the greatest benefits of working here come from the unique relationship the hospital shares with nearby Fort Drum. We are part of a United States Department of Defense pilot project. There is not a hospital on post, so military personnel rely on community healthcare providers for many healthcare services. With approximately 17,500 soldiers and 4,000 civilians on payroll, Fort Drum is the region's largest employer. Civilian and military doctors work side by side, as many military physicians are credentialed as part of our Medical Staff. Our civilian physicians and nursing staff are therefore able to work on and learn about entirely new sets of diagnoses and treatment modalities through their relationship with military medicine.
-Outdoor recreational opportunities abound providing miles of wilderness trails along with rivers for whitewater rafting and some of nation's best trout fishing. People have the luxury of vacationing where they live and work. The region offers:
- Comfortable relaxed lifestyle with a low cost of living
- Safe attractive neighborhoods, quiet rural areas, affordable housing, light traffic, first-rate school systems and a gorgeous landscape.
- Public and Private institutions offering undergraduate and graduate degrees
- Easy accessibility to major metropolitan areas i.e.
o Albany 210 miles
o Syracuse 70 miles
o New York City 330 miles
o Kingston, Ontario 60 miles
o Montreal, Quebec 200 miles
o Niagara Falls 235 miles
o Toronto, Ontario 315 miles
o Washington, DC 450 miles
o Rochester, NY 155 Miles
