Certificate of Need (CON) History and Historical Documents

New York's Certificate of Need (CON) program, which regulates the establishment and expansion of healthcare facilities and services, has a history rooted in the state's efforts to control healthcare costs and ensure that proposed services are aligned with community need. The CON process, established in 1964, requires healthcare providers to demonstrate need before undertaking certain actions, such as building new facilities, acquiring major medical equipment, or adding new services.
