Leaps and Bounds On the heels of bringing Macedon Kachoria Family Practice into the fold in late 2013 Thompson Health welcomed three additional primary care locations in 2014. With a collective total of nearly 3000 patients Farmington Family Medicine Midlakes Medical Care and Palmyra Family Medicine all signed on. These additions brought the total number of Thompson primary care practices to nine with locations in three counties. Another longtime local physician integrated his practice into the health system in 2014 as well joining Canandaigua Family Practice. For the doctors these transitions allow them to focus on patient care while keeping pace with sweeping government-mandated regulations. For the health system the growth means a continued ability to thrive at a time of tremendous change and the ability to continue to meet the health care needs of the community. New Cancer Services A new organizational structure for UR Medicines Wilmot Cancer Institute and the inclusion of the Sands Cancer Center in the institute brought new comprehensive services to Sands patients in the fall with more to come in the near future. These services include clinical trials a new cardiologyoncology program focusing on cancer-related heart problems enhanced assistance with symptom management and decision-making genomics testing and advanced diagnostic testing for certain cancers which helps physicians to more precisely tailor treatments to a patients needs.
