FSLH acquired Independent Physicians from the three principal physician owners, including Dr. Domenic Aiello, Dr. Venkata Mannava, and Dr. Anthony DeIorio.
FSLH also owns and operates an urgent-care center at its Faxton campus at 1676 Sunset Ave. in Utica.
The Faxton and Genesee Urgent Care Centers each log nearly 20,000 patient visits annually, according to FSLH.
It was a “smooth and successful” transition, Bradley Crysler, executive director of Adirondack Community Physicians for FSLH, said in the news release.
“Urgent Care Centers provide a needed service for less threatening injuries and illnesses, leaving the emergency departments available for the more serious and life-threatening issues,” Crysler said.
Health-care providers are referring “more and more” people to urgent-care centers if they suffer from minor medical problems such as seasonal allergies, coughs and colds, flu, pink eye, sprains, minor burns and lacerations, urinary-tract infections, minor back pain, rashes, and nausea, FSLH said.
Both urgent-care locations are open daily from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., according to FSLH.
