SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse Community Health (SCH) on Thursday held a beam-raising ceremony as construction continues on the organization’s upcoming new location at 930 S. Salina St., just down the street from its current location.
Syracuse Community Health is the rebranded name of the Syracuse Community Health Center located at 819 S. Salina St.
The upcoming 56,000-square-foot facility will replace the 70-year-old current office. It will join the organization’s already established SCH offices at 1938 E. Fayette St. and 603 Oswego St. in Syracuse.
The new medical facility will have services that include primary care, dental services, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, eye care, podiatry, and administrative offices. The behavioral health and urgent-care center will remain at the current offices, which are for future renovation, per a news release about the project.
“For many years, it has been a dream of SCH to construct a more modern facility with the latest in medical-design concepts on the South Side of Syracuse,” Mark Hall, president and CEO of Syracuse Community Health, said. “Today, with this beam raising, we are taking the first steps to bring this facility to Syracuse and enhance the quality of care in our community.”
Hueber-Breuer Construction Co. Inc. of Syracuse is the general contractor on the project, and King + King Architects, also of Syracuse, designed the facility. SCH expects construction to wrap in June 2023.
