We have received a few phone calls and messages regarding the new facility code for the new hospital in Lockport.  At this time, we have yet to receive the new facility code and are expecting the new facility code from NYS within the next 24 hours.  As soon as we receive the new facility code, we will be sure to pass the information along for EMS agencies to enter into their respective EPCR system.
