Current plans call for the ambulatory practices affiliated with St. Joseph’s Physicians Health — including Baldwinsville Family Medical Care, Heritage Family Medicine, and Syracuse Internist Associates — to adopt the St. Joseph’s Physicians name in the first quarter of 2014, Ruscitto said.
St. Joseph’s initially acquired St. Joseph’s Medical P.C. in 2011, which at the time was known as North Medical P.C., the hospital said.
