Location is more convenient for patients
OSWEGO — ConnextCare is now operating in its new Oswego office, which it opened in late March after a construction project that lasted about eight months.
ConnextCare sees the location of the new site as “much more convenient” and walkable to many of the public-housing buildings downtown, making transportation “less of a barrier” for patient care.
The new space at 120 East First St. is double the size of the previous office on George Street, allowing for 18 primary-care exam rooms and seven dental-exam rooms along with various workspaces, break rooms, and offices for staff, ConnextCare said.
The new Oswego office offers medical, dental, mental health, and substance-use disorder services.
The practice is offering walk-in services for acute issues Monday through Wednesday from 9-11 a.m. for established patients. Acute visits are for treating minor illnesses and injuries, with symptoms lasting less than three days.
Emergency dental walk-in visits will now be available on Mondays and Thursdays from 8-10 a.m. and from 1-3 p.m., and patients do not need to be already established with ConnextCare to utilize this service.
Phlebotomy services for patients of ConnextCare are also available onsite from 7:30 a.m.-4 p.m. daily by appointment.
For any questions, those needing help can call (315) 342-0880 (medical) or (315) 602-5025 (dental).
“After many years of planning the transition of our Oswego office, I am thrilled to be able to say that our doors are now open,” Tricia Peter-Clark, president and CEO of ConnextCare, said in the announcement. “The expansion of this office will allow ConnextCare to continue to grow and serve even more patients in the Oswego community.”
The organization worked with King + King Architects of Syracuse and Rochester–based LeChase Construction on the project for this new office.
