Melville, NY – Catholic Health has inaugurated a new multi-specialty ambulatory care center in Suffolk County, Long Island. The state-of-the-art facility spans 13,000 square feet and is located at 610 Broadhollow Road in Melville. This development represents an investment of approximately $7 million and aims to enhance healthcare accessibility in the region.
The newly opened center provides a range of primary and specialty medical services. Key specialties offered include cardiology, orthopedics, pain management, and pulmonology. In addition to these specialty services, the center contains a walk-in urgent care clinic that can offer immediate treatment for various health issues. Services at the walk-in clinic include treatment for injuries, blood draws, and pediatric care, as well as tests for COVID-19, flu, strep, mono, and glucose. The center also provides high-definition X-rays, IV hydration, vaccines, immunizations, travel medicine, and occupational health services including workers’ compensation care.
With a design intended to accommodate between 175 to 200 patients per day, the facility plans to initially staff eight clinicians, with goals to expand to 15 in the forthcoming months. The operational structure aims to integrate primary care, specialty services, and urgent care at a single location, which will reduce the patient overflow currently experienced in emergency departments.
Operating hours for the Ambulatory & Urgent Care center are from Monday to Friday by appointment, whereas urgent care services are available seven days a week. Weekday hours for urgent care are from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekends, providing flexible options for patients seeking immediate healthcare services.
The opening of this center marks a significant expansion for Catholic Health, which now operates a total of 22 ambulatory locations throughout Long Island. This growth aligns with a broader trend in the healthcare industry, as various large health systems including NYU Langone, Mount Sinai, and Northwell are extending their services into suburban areas in response to increasing demand for outpatient care.
In the previous year, Catholic Health reported $3.4 billion in revenue and manages six hospitals across Long Island, employing nearly 18,000 workers. The establishment of the Melville ambulatory care center is a strategic move designed to meet the rising need for accessible outpatient healthcare in the community.
By integrating various medical services into one facility, Catholic Health aims to streamline patient care and enhance the overall healthcare experience for residents of Melville and the surrounding areas.
