Vassar Brothers Medical Center will use a grant to update Health Information system

Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie will be undergoing major changes thanks to a large donation from the Dyson Foundation.

Foundation President Robert Dyson announced Wednesday it will donate $5 million to Health Quest Inc., the nonprofit parent corporation of the hospital, as a part of the foundation’s 50th anniversary celebration.

The grant will go toward upgrading the information technology at Vassar Brothers, as well as at Health Quest’s other two local hospitals, Putnam Hospital Center in Carmel and Northern Dutchess Hospital in Rhinebeck.
