OSWEGO, N.Y. — Oswego Health plans to open a third primary-care location in Oswego at 33 East Schuyler St., Suite 100 on July 5.
The health system is opening this third location in response to “a continued demand for primary care services,” Oswego Health said in its Thursday announcement.
“Oswego Health’s mission is to provide accessible, quality care and improve the health of residents in our community,” Dr. Micheal Stephens, associate chief medical officer and primary-care provider at Oswego Family Physicians, PC of Oswego Health, said in a statement. “By regularly seeing a primary-care practitioner, you can identify and control health-risk factors before they become problems and this expansion will allow us to provide even more access to primary care for our community.”

Before deciding to open a third Oswego location, Oswego Health said it analyzed the community’s need for health-care services by conducting a community-needs survey.
The survey found 79 percent of the respondents travel outside the county for health-care services.

Oswego PrimeCare will open Tuesday in the lower level of the Port City Family Medicine building. The practice will also have a lab-draw station right on site, Oswego Health noted.
The clinical team will be led by Dr. Douglas Guenter and will include Dr. Joan Newell and Jill Gilman, a family nurse practitioner.
