Guthrie has plans for new medical office building in the Cortland area

CORTLANDVILLE, N.Y. — Guthrie Clinic announced it has plans for a new medical office building to serve the Cortland area.

The organization is working with McNeil Development of Cortland to renovate the former JM Murray Center at 4057 West Road in the town of Cortlandville into a facility that will “serve patients better,” per its Nov. 16 news release.

The new medical office building is scheduled to open in October 2024.

When complete, the front of the building will include primary and walk-in care, along with lab and imaging services in a 16,000-square-foot space. It will bring Guthrie’s West Road and Homer primary-care teams patients into a “more comfortable and convenient setting,” Guthrie contends.

Modeled after Guthrie facilities in Ithaca, Big Flats, and Corning, the new medical office will have areas for patients, multiple exam rooms, and space for additional primary-care providers.

The second part of the project will develop an additional 16,000 square feet into a new home for specialty-care services, which will be determined in the coming months based on community need, Guthrie said.

“This investment continues Guthrie’s commitment to provide superior clinical care and earn our place as the most trusted health care partner for the local community,” Shawn Karney, associate VP – regional operations, Guthrie Medical Group, said in the release. “These comprehensive services will allow us to expand our ability to care for you right here at home, starting with your primary-care visit and coordinating a specialty referral for a procedure or a quick stay at Guthrie Cortland Medical Center.”
