Utica gynecology practice joins Community Memorial in Hamilton

HAMILTON — The Community Memorial Hospital (CMH) network announced on Feb. 27 that it is continuing to grow through its acquisition of a private gynecology practice in Utica. Dr. Scott Beattie and his team from Medical Arts Gynecology and Infertility, P.C. have joined with CMH and will provide women’s health services from an existing office on Old Burrstone Road in Utica as well as in Hamilton, according to a CMH news release. The practice will see patients at Hamilton Medical Services Center for Women’s Health one day a week with procedures performed at Community Memorial Hospital. “Dr. Beattie’s decades of experience in comprehensive women’s healthcare make him a valuable addition to the CMH medical staff,” CMH Chief Medical Officer Dr. Michael Walsh said in the release. “We eagerly anticipate collaborating on patient care in both Utica and Hamilton, expanding our commitment to providing exceptional care.”

Also joining CMH alongside Beattie is physician assistant Amy Roberson, who has spent a decade collaborating with Beattie. “Recognizing the need for women’s healthcare services locally, we are happy to welcome Dr. Beattie and his staff to our network,” CMH President/CEO Jeff Coakley said. “Our joint efforts to increase access to women’s health through collaboration with our primary care providers will improve care coordination for patients. We are excited to continue elevating the quality of healthcare with both Dr. Beattie and Amy Roberson.” Beattie is board certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and holds a dual bachelor’s degree in biology and chemistry from SUNY Oswego. He pursued his medical degree at SUNY Upstate Medical University and completed his residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Vermont Medical Center. Beattie specializes in minimally invasive and advanced laparoscopic surgery. Roberson holds a bachelor’s degree in biology from Elizabethtown College in Pennsylvania and a master’s degree in physician-assistant studies from Le Moyne College. The practice provides women’s health care for patients from adolescence to adulthood and is accepting new patients in both locations. Community Memorial Hospital, a Crouse Health partner, serves Madison County and portions of Chenango, Oneida, and Onondaga counties as a critical-access hospital. Hamilton Medical Services is a professional corporation of CMH.
