ITHACA, N.Y. — The Guthrie Clinic has recently expanded its footprint in Ithaca with its City Harbor facility, a 60,000-square-foot, three-story medical office building.

The Guthrie facility at 720 Willow Avenue began offering services to patients Feb. 7.

Guthrie Ithaca on Hanshaw Road will remain open, providing primary care and specialty services, the organization noted.

Guthrie broke ground on the project in October 2020. The health-care system operates locations in New York’s Southern Tier and in northern Pennsylvania.

Welliver of Montour Falls was the general contractor on the $30 million project, and HBT Architects of Rochester handled the design work, Steve Osterhaus, communications coordinator at Guthrie, tells CNYBJ.

The new location includes expanded primary-care services, including walk-in sick visits; eye-care services, including optical shop; breast care including 3D mammography and fellowship-trained specialists in breast radiology and breast surgery; large therapy space for physical, occupational, and hand therapy; and a gastrointestinal / endoscopy suite, per the Guthrie news release.

“From the beginning, it’s felt like a collaboration to meet the needs of the residents of Tompkins County,” Dr. Edmund Sabanegh, president and CEO of Guthrie, said. “The ability to complete a project in such a key piece of the city’s development was a fantastic opportunity, both for The Guthrie Clinic and more importantly, for our patients.”

Guthrie is a nonprofit health system located in north central Pennsylvania and upstate New York, serving patients from a 12-county service area. It includes a research institute; home care/hospice; Pennsylvania hospitals in Sayre, Towanda, and Troy, and New York hospitals in Cortland and Corning; as well as a multi-specialty group practice of nearly 700 providers offering 47 specialties through a regional office network providing primary and specialty care in 22 communities in Pennsylvania and New York.
