ONEIDA, N.Y. — Mohawk Valley Health System (MVHS) announced it plans to expand its 1,800-square-foot Oneida medical office to a space that will cover about 4,000 square feet.
The expansion will begin “soon” and should be complete by the third quarter of 2019, Grace Fernandez, communications specialist at MVHS, said in an email reply to a BJNN inquiry.
MVHS last Friday formally opened the Oneida medical office, which is located at 131 Main St. in Oneida. The organization initially announced its opening in late July.
