They've helped other hospitals with necessary short-duration assistance programs. During the 2010s, when E.J. Noble Hospital had some financial difficulties, ''Samaritan'' was supervising some of their units, and the name ''E.J. Noble Samaritan'' was temporarily used for ''Noble''. In 2019 they helped raise funds for '' Children’s Miracle Network of Northern New York''.Controversy
