Our History at Barnet Health

On December 6, 2018 the Greater Hudson Valley Health System announced a new name for the health system which is the corporate parent of Barnet Health Medical Center – Catskills, Barnet Health Medical Center, Barnet Health Doctors and the Barnet Health Foundation.  The new system name is Barnet Health. Scott Batulis, President & CEO said, “As a growing health care system and expanding medical group, we wanted a name that is simple and easy to explain to our patients and our community.”  Barnet, the New York State gemstone, suggests quality, leadership and healing.
