CARTHAGE, N.Y. — Carthage Area Hospital and McCue Dental have reached an agreement to “transition ownership” of the Carthage Community Dental Clinic to McCue Dental, effective Sept. 19.
McCue Dental purchased “usable” dental equipment from Carthage Area Hospital and will rent the space from the hospital, Taylour Lynn Scanlin, the hospital’s marketing director, said in an email response to a BJNN inquiry. “All staff remain,” Scanlin added.
No financial terms of the deal were announced.

Carthage Area Hospital said in a recent news release that the “ever-changing landscape of healthcare” prompted the health-care organization to “evaluate its operations to ensure the community is receiving essential services and that the hospital remains financially strong.”
“This mutually-beneficial acquisition allows for dental services to be continually provided to the local community,” Rich Duvall, CEO of Carthage Area Hospital, said in the release.
Dr. Thomas McCue IV, owner of McCue Dental, said he believes the transition is a “positive alternative.”
“There are so many people that need help. With this acquisition, we are improving access to care,” McCue said.
McCue Dental offers general dentistry and provides a “full range” of dental services for adults and children starting at age 2.
It operates dental offices in Carthage, Watertown, Philadelphia (a Jefferson County village), Pulaski, and Brewerton, according to its website.
McCue acquired its locations in Watertown, Philadelphia, Pulaski, and Brewerton “from former dental providers,” according to the Carthage Area Hospital release.
