OSWEGO — ConnextCare on June 18 held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of its new office at 120 East First St. in Oswego, which began operations on March 31.
The new ConnextCare location offers services that include primary care; dental care; mental-health services, such as psychiatry and counseling; and substance-use disorder treatment. The relocation and expansion of the health center has enabled ConnextCare to provide dental services in Oswego for the first time, the health-care organization said.
“Our new Oswego office has been many years in the making, and I am thrilled to be here today celebrating this monumental investment in primary care,” Tricia Peter-Clark, president and CEO of ConnextCare, said in the announcement. “This project represents the largest individual investment in primary care in Oswego County’s history. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us for this celebration and to the countless individuals who supported the development of this comprehensive medical practice.”
During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Peter-Clark expressed appreciation for the organizations whose dedication made the project possible, including Rochester–based LeChase Construction, Operation Oswego County, the County of Oswego Industrial Development Agency, the Civic Facilities Corporation, Pathfinder Bank, and the Oswego County Legislature.
With the addition of new clinical space, ConnextCare is now offering walk-in services for acute medical concerns. This service is available every Monday through Wednesday from 9-11 a.m. and is “exclusively for established ConnextCare patients.” Acute visits are designed to address minor illnesses and injuries, including symptoms such as rashes, sore throats, sinus congestion, and other new onset concerns.
Emergency dental walk-in visits are also now available at various times throughout the week. Individuals in need of these services do not need to be currently established with ConnextCare to utilize this service.
