ROME, N.Y. — Rome Health has plans for a $13.1 million capital project to create a new physician center on its main campus in Rome.
Rome Health is the rebranded name of Rome Memorial Hospital, which is located at 1500 N. James St. in Rome.
Primary and specialty care clinics are currently scattered across multiple locations within two miles of the hospital, Mark Murphy, president and CEO of Rome Health, said.

“Bringing them together on the hospital’s main campus will provide greater convenience for patients with the proximity of diagnostic testing and pharmacy in a single location,” said Murphy.
Primary care and specialty physicians, diagnostic testing, lab tests, and pharmacy services will all be available in one location, he added.
Pending state approval, Rome Health expects to begin construction in August, with the new physician center opening in June 2022. The project involves renovating existing administrative space on the ground floor and first floor and finishing the open space under the Bartlett Wing, which faces Black River Boulevard.
Rome Health has selected King + King Architects and the Hayner Hoyt Corporation, both of Syracuse, to design and construct the new physician center.
When complete in June 2022, providers from the hospital’s affiliated practices will relocate to the new center. These include primary care providers from Rome Medical Group and Delta Medical, as well as many of the specialists from Rome Medical Practice.
