OUR LADY OF LOURDES HOSPITAL IN BINGHAMTON - "A Communities Experience
with Major Flooding, Turning Adversity into Opportunity"
Wayne Mitteer, RN MS is recently retired as Vice President of Clinical Services at Our Lady of
Lourdes Memorial Hospital in Binghamton, New York. Mr. Mitteer had direct involvements in
both the 2006 flood which required full evacuation and closure of the Hospital resulting in over
21 million dollars in damage; and, the 2011 flood which allowed the hospital to continue
operations because of the flood mitigation strategy that was put in place. Lourdes survived far
better in 2011 than in 2006 even though the community flooding was far worse
