SYRACUSE, N.Y. — Syracuse Community Health (SCH) is now offering many of its services in its new building.
The new facility at 930 S. Salina St. is replacing the current 70-year-old main office at 819 S. Salina St. The 56,000-square-foot structure joins the already established SCH offices at 1938 E. Fayette St. and 603 Oswego St.
SCH will also continue to provide health services for students in eight schools within the Syracuse City School District.
SCH on Dec. 1 held a grand-opening event to formally open its new health facility that it says will provide “the latest in patient-centered care and design.” It opened to patients on Dec. 11.
Development of the $23 million facility included funding from a $12.8 million grant in 2016 and an additional $6.2 million in 2018 from New York State.
King + King Architects of Syracuse designed the facility and Hueber Breuer Construction Co. Inc., also of Syracuse, served as the general contractor.
“For many years, it has been a dream of SCH to construct a 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 in a news release. “Today, this facility is the cornerstone of enhancing the quality of care in our community.”
SCH serves more than 30,000 patients in the Greater Syracuse area.
The new location includes a spa-like Breast Care Center that will provide the latest in mammography imaging in an environment that includes comfortable seating, a fireplace, and other spa-like features, SCH said.
The new medical facility also includes many of the practice’s services, including primary care, dental services, pediatrics, obstetrics and gynecology, eye care and podiatry, as we all operate as the SCH’s anchor administrative offices.
The new facility has 39 patient rooms and two treatment areas. The behavioral health and the Quick Care center will remain at the current offices, which will be renovated in the future, SCH noted.
In addition, the Brady Market will also be providing food options daily in the new café for the entire center.
