New and Improved
One of the initial stages of Thompson Health’s $43.5
million Project Excel expansion and renovation was
completed as the Ambulatory Procedures Center (APC)
moved into its new space in the Constellation Center
for Health and Healing. Now next to surgical care,
APC grew from two endoscopy suites to four, with a
more open nurses’ station and more natural sunlight.
Between colonoscopies, bronchoscopies, other
procedures and pain management, APC’s staff in 2013
treated 5,487 patients, a nearly 6-percent increase
over 2012.
Expansion in Primary Care
Thompson Health moved into its first Wayne County location in
December, when the health system opened its sixth family practice,
the Macedon Kachoria Family Practice on Route 31. Donated to
Thompson by Dr. Lekhraj B. Kachoria, who retired after nearly 40 years
in Macedon, the practice is open five days per week with a physician
and a nurse practitioner treating Dr. Kachoria’s former patients and
other community members in need of primary care. Joining Family
Nurse Practitioner Susan Quinn in caring for these patients is Dr. Susan
Rockwell. A seventh family practice joined the fold in February of
this year, as Dr. Marc Zarfes integrated his Farmington office with the
health system.
