New Women’s Health Site Improves Access to Outpatient Ob/Gyn Care

Women who receive outpatient obstetric and gynecological care at Strong Memorial Hospital will soon enjoy improved access to care when these services relocate to a nearby medical office building at 125 Lattimore Road.

Currently located on the fifth floor of the Ambulatory Care Facility, outpatient ob/gyn providers expect to welcome patients at the new location in April 2012. The site, currently under renovation, includes 21,000 square feet on the building’s first floor. In addition to general and special ob/gyn care, services at the new location will include ultrasound, fetal monitoring, genetic counseling and laboratory services.

“The Lattimore Women’s Health Center, just four blocks from the URMC campus, allows us to unite our ob/gyn outpatient services in one city location, on bus lines and with free parking for our patients,” said James R. Woods Jr., M.D., Henry A. Thiede Professor and Chair of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology. “It will enhance our ability to deliver care and ultimately improve health outcomes and reduce disparities for many who find it a challenge to come to appointments at the hospital. Additionally, this new location will serve as a medical home for women’s health, as it will enable us to offer extended hours and will enhance our ability to provide coordinated care for our patients.”

While care providers at the current location on ACF-5 see 23,000 patients annually, the Lattimore Road site will have capacity for 30,000 visits per year, helping to meet a growing demand for services in a more timely manner.
