Companies, Community Care Physicians
PC and the Town of Clifton Park broke
ground in October for the new two-story
60,000-square-foot medical arts complex at
1783 Route 9, Clifton Park.
The new $15 million facility, to be built by
BBL Medical Facilities, will consolidate several
CCP offices to better serve the community by
streamlining operations at a central location.
Officials said Community Care’s on-site
specialties will include Primary Care (family
medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics), Ob/
Gyn, urgent care, medical imaging, physical
therapy, urology, lab and an on-site workout
room.
About 80 employees will be based at the
new facility, including 25 providers, officials
said. Community Care is leasing almost 44,000
square feet of the building. Also in the facility
are Albany Medical Center and Brass Eye
Center.
"CCP has been able to create another centralized
location that serves as a one-stop shop for
patients, for an improved patient experience,"
said Richard Scanu, chief operating officer/
chief financial officer for Community Care
Physicians. "Our physicians can work better
together; patients can access important integrated
medical services; and the location is
within easy reach of our current patients and
of those who will join the Community Care
family as we grow."
Community Care's model is to create convenient
access to multiple specialties in one location,
said Scanu. The Community Care practices
all share a centralized electronic medical record
making care as seamless as possible for labs,
imaging, and internal referrals. Patients can
also connect with the physicians electronically
using an online, secure patient portal.
Columbia and BBL most recently built a
similar medical office building for Community
Care at the Rensselaer Technology Park in
North Greenbush. CCP has other consolidated
locations in Delmar, Latham, and Niskayuna.
"Columbia is proud to again partner with
Community Care Physicians for this new
facility," said Richard Rosen, vice president of
Columbia Development. "The positive reaction
to this project speaks to the need for this
facility here in this community. Patients will
find outstanding care here, in a new, modern,
efficient facility."
The following practices will relocate from
nearby locations in Clifton Park to the new
consolidated building: Clifton Park Family
Medicine, Clifton Park Pediatrics, Community
Care Family Medicine, Community Care Internal
Medicine – Clifton Park, the Office of Dr.
Kathleen Downey, Capital Region Women's Care
(formerly OB/GYN Health Center Associates),
Urological Institute of Northeastern New York,
Community Care Physical Therapy, ImageCare
Medical Imaging, LabCare. The building is
expected to open July 2016.
