ROME, N.Y. — Rome Memorial Hospital announced today that it will open a new women’s health practice in March to provide obstetrical and gynecological services.
The hospital hired Dr. Diana Wallace as physician for the new practice. Wallace comes to Rome from St. Luke’s-Cornwall Hospital in Newburgh, where she specialized in obstetrics and gynecology (OB/GYN), according to a news release from Rome Memorial.
The hospital does not have an exact address or phone number for the practice yet, Cassie Evans Winter, vice president of communications and marketing, says in a follow-up call.
