PULASKI, NY – On Monday, June 27, ConnextCare held a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the commencement of construction at the Pulaski office.

“The team knew what changes we needed to make structurally to create a sustainable model of care that would really work for the patients as well as our staff, well beyond this pandemic and in to the future,” said Tricia Peter-Clark, president and CEO of ConnextCare during her opening remarks. “When this project is complete in the fall, we will be positioned to deliver the best outpatient primary care possible and offer opportunities to bring needed services right to our most vulnerable patient populations.”
