WESTMED Medical Group, a large multi-specialty medical practice, joined elected and community leaders, and developers Simone Healthcare Development and Fareri Associates, on May 13th to mark the grand opening of its fifth full-service office in Westchester County. The new four-story, 85,000 s/f medical office building is located 3030 Westchester Ave. in the newly renamed Purchase Professional Park.
The grand opening marks the first new office construction along the I-287 corridor in more than 25 years.
Executives from WESTMED, Simone and Fareri Associates were joined by local elected and community leaders at the ceremony, including Harrison town supervisor Ronald Belmont and Westchester deputy county executive Kevin Plunkett.
WESTMED Medical Group's specialties in the new building include: Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Colorectal Surgery, Critical Care, Dermatology, Endocrinology, ENT, Gynecologic Oncology, Healthy Measures weight management program, Mohs Surgery, Nephrology, Neurology, Orthopedics, Palliative Medicine, Plastic Surgery, Pulmonology and Reproductive Endocrinology.
"When our medical organizations merged in 1999, my partner and I, Dr. Barney Newman, were concerned that one of the most desirable areas to live in the U.S. was characterized as having fragmented, uncoordinated health care," said Dr. Simeon Schwartz, president and CEO of WESTMED Medical Group. "Our vision was to bring coordinated, efficient and quality medical care to a wide spectrum of the population. Sixteen years later, as we open our 5th full-service office, WESTMED sees ever-larger numbers of patients seeking out the right services at the right time rather than more costly care, with unnecessary tests and avoidable hospitalizations."
Anthony Viceroy, president of WESTMED Practice Partners and CFO of WESTMED Medical Group said, "We are pleased to increase access to best-in-class healthcare with the opening of this new state-of-the-art facility. With our broad range of outpatient services focused on quality and efficiency, we provide our community with over 26 different medical specialties. Our talented and well-trained physicians and staff are committed to delivering "service excellence" with care and compassion at every 'touch point' to enhance the patient experience here at WESTMED."
Situated on Westchester Ave. in the heart of Westchester's Platinum Mile (I-287), the Purchase Professional Park combines first-class office and medical space, exceptional amenities and one of the most convenient office locations in the region. The park-like campus features four modern buildings (3000, 3010, 3020 and the new 3030 Westchester Ave.) totaling 220,000 s/f of class A office and medical space.
Purchase Professional Park is a true suburban office and medical park offering the latest in corporate quality amenities and services, including: on-site café, fitness center, 24/7 building access with state-of-the-art camera security, landscaped courtyard with fountain and seating areas, on-site owner management and abundant complimentary parking. The complex offers a highly visible and convenient location at Exit 10 off of I-287, with access to major highways including I-95, I-684 and the Hutchinson River/Merritt Parkways, and is just minutes away from the Westchester County Airport and Metro-North train stations in Rye, Harrison and White Plains, providing access to the growing suburban patient base in Westchester, Fairfield and Putnam counties. Nearby hospitals include White Plains Hospital, New York-Presbyterian Hospital in White Plains, Greenwich Hospital and Westchester Medical Center.
Simone Healthcare Development and Fareri Associates recently completed a major renovation and modernization of the existing buildings and common areas at the Purchase Professional Park. The renovation work included refurbishing the exterior facades, renovating all of the lobbies as well as all common area hallways and restrooms, and replacing the elevators and elevator cabs with new finishing throughout all three of the complex's existing buildings. Landscaping is being upgraded throughout the campus and the existing courtyard will have a new fountain as its centerpiece, along with new plantings, pavers and outdoor furniture for visitors and employees working at the complex to enjoy. Further, new, brighter and more energy efficient LED lighting is being installed throughout the on-site parking areas at the campus, and all interior and exterior signage is also being replaced to display the complex's new name.
"The renovations and modernizations we have made at the Purchase Professional Park are a significant investment by our company that will clearly position this complex as the choice location for medical practices and business professionals in Westchester County. We are particularly excited about the addition of WESTMED Medical Group's full-service facility at 3030 Westchester Ave., which is one of the most technologically advanced medical buildings in the region," said Joseph Simone, president of Simone Development, whose Simone Healthcare Development Group partners with hospitals and large medical practices in the site selection, acquisition, design, construction and management of the state-of-the-art medical facilities.
