Initially both hospital locations continued to operate under their new name. In 2009 Orange Regional began construction of a new facility, with the goal of having a single, more modern facility. It was ready in 2011, and the two earlier locations closed.
Construction had been done using a then-innovative cost-saving method named design-build; it also saved money and allowed adding more beds, with a total of 353 parient rooms. The hospital was formed as "a consolidation of Arden Hill Hospital in Goshen and Horton Medical Center in Middletown,". After rebranding, this location is now named Garnet Health Medical Center.
Garnet Health Medical Center is a Federally-designated Primary stroke center.{{cite web
