Whitney Young Health center relocating to new location
TROY, N.Y. » Whitney Young Health recently announced that they will be relocating their North Troy health center this summer.
Officials said that the new health center will be located at Riverside Plaza, 849 2nd Ave. in Troy.
This state- of- the- art, 4,950 square-foot health center is projected to be open this summer, officials said in a news release.
The new location will feature four medical exam rooms, four dental operatories, and an integrative behavioral health treatment option. Through telehealth technology, a number of clinical services offered in its larger Albany site will be made available to patients using the new North Troy location, according to the release.
“Our team is excited to be opening our new location in North Troy this summer,” David Shippee, President, and CEO of Whitney Young Health said of the new location.
“This is an excellent opportunity for us to continue to provide convenient care to our patients in the Capital Region and ensure that we remain a healthcare resource for the residents of Troy for the foreseeable future. Patients will receive the same great care they are accustomed to, but in a brighter, newer and more inviting setting,” Shippee added.
This new, convenient location will reduce the stress put on patients by making additional resources available to them. In the new Troy location, which is adjacent to other retail establishments, patients will have the ability to visit nearby pharmacies to fill their prescriptions and still be able to take the bus line home, as it remains on a highly-trafficked CDTA route, officials said in the release.
“Our city is thankful for Whitney Young Health’s contributions to ensuring all of Troy’s citizens have access to convenient care options,” Troy Mayor Patrick Madden said in the release.
“My administration recognizes the important role they play in the region’s health care safety net, and we’re pleased that they will remain an integral part of the Troy community and keep our residents healthy,” Madden added.
