OSWEGO, N.Y. — ConnextCare has opened its new Oswego location at 120 East First St. following eight months of construction.
The new space 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 location offers medical, dental, mental health, and substance-use disorder services.

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 and LeChase Construction on the project.
