PULASKI, N.Y. — Crews have begun work on a project that seeks to bring “much-needed updates” to the ConnextCare health center at 61 Delano St. in Pulaski.
ConnextCare is an Oswego County health-care provider. It was previously known as NOCHSI, or Northern Oswego County Health Services Inc.
The project will include a covered drive-thru testing area, additional parking-lot spaces, the installation of four electric-charging stations, and a walking trail with a gazebo and deck overlooking a stream on the west side of the property.
GYMO Construction Management of Watertown will oversee the project, and DC Building Systems Inc. of Watertown will handle the construction work, Karli Byrd, corporate-relations manager at ConnextCare, tells CNYBJ in an email. The project will cost nearly $3 million and wrap up in early November, Byrd adds.
ConnextCare is making some changes to its “organizational flow” in Pulaski “due to limited parking-lot capacity throughout the duration of the construction.” Patients will use the same driveway to exit and enter the property, and the organization has added new directional arrows to provide a visual of the intended flow of traffic.
In the coming weeks, ConnextCare says its staff will contact patients with existing appointments to see if they would prefer to have their appointment via telehealth to alleviate parking-lot traffic.
