New York-Presbyterian/Queens celebrated the grand opening of a new state-of-the-art Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Center in Jackson Heights last week. The facility, located at 72-06 Northern Blvd., is a community teaching hospital affiliated with Weill Cornell Medicine. It serves Queens and metro New York residents.
“Let’s keep the residents of Queens in Queens for their health care,” New York-Presbyterian/Queens Chief Operating Officer Jaclyn Mucaria said. “This magnificent new site is but one example of our desire to expand our footprint in the borough, to reach more residents in their own neighborhood.”
Patients at the New York-Presbyterian Medical Group/Queens Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Center will receive consultation, rehabilitation therapy and other services all under the same roof.
In addition to providing general orthopedic surgery, the team of fellowship-trained and board-certified physicians and surgeons are subspecialists in sports medicine, trauma, hand and upper-extremity conditions, foot and ankle disorders, joint replacement and spinal programs. The team is complemented by physiatrists as well as physical and occupational therapists.
“We are committed to the borough of Queens,” Dr. Jeffrey Rosen said. “Our doctors are like the borough, multi-ethnic and multi-lingual. Many of them grew up here and have returned to serve their community.”
