URMC Completes Acquisition Of Lakeside Hospital

The University of Rochester Medical Center has now officially taken over the former Lakeside Hospital property in Brockport. It is now called " URMC Strong West,"  and as part of that transition, there will be a new urgent care center established at the Lakeside Hospital site. It will open on September 3rd.
 
URMC is also pursuing state health department approval for a full service emergency department and an ambulatory surgery center at that West Avenue site in Brockport for early next year.  If that's approved, urgent care services will continue to be available after the new emergency department opens.
 
The Strong West operations also include a physician office building adjacent to the Lakeside Hospital, some primary care practices and an urgent care operation in Spencerport.  Lakeside continues to operate the Beikirch  Care Center, which is a nursing home.
