North Shore LIJ Health Systems opened a new 6,000 square-foot ambulatory service clinic on October 14 in Whitestone. The medical center can be found on 150-55 14th Avenue.
The new ambulatory facility will provide local physicians and patients with a “vital resource for their community,” according to Michael Dowling, president and chief executive officer of the North Shore-LIJ Health System.
“The opening of North Shore-LIJ Medical Group in Whitestone is in keeping with our strategy of locating clinical services in convenient locations in the communities where our patients live and work, rather than in our hospitals.” said Dowling
The new location is anchored by cardiology, internal and pulmonary medicine programs as well as other specialty care services. The physicians are also multilingual to fit the needs of the diverse community in Queens.
North Shore-LIJ is teaming up with local businesses and Greek Orthodox churches to help reach out to the community to further expand their health care.
“We are also partnering with local organizations to best meet the growing health needs of the community through educational programs and health screenings,” said Mark Solazzo executive vice president and chief operating officer at North Shore LIJ.
Residents who wish to make an appointment or would like more information can call North Shore-LIJ Medical Group in Whitestone at 718-559-3300.
