AS THE first urgent care center in Wayne
County, Thompson Health’s Newark Ur-
gent Care Center has been a busy place
since first opening its doors on March 7.
“The response from the community has
been beyond our wildest expectations, not
only in terms of positive feedback, but in
terms of the need for our services,” says
Director of Practice Management Cath-
erine Shannon. She noted that more than
650 patients sought care during March
alone, although the Center did not open
until the second week of the month.
Located at 800 West Miller St., with
a phone number of 315-226-8900, its
hours of operation are::
• Monday through Friday, 11 a.m. to
8 p.m.
• Saturday and Sunday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The location is open on most holidays.
X-ray hours mirror those of urgent
care, and you don’t need to be a patient
of urgent care in order to use this service,
Shannon notes.
The location also features a lab draw
station with the following hours:
• Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to
5:30 p.m.
• Saturdays, 7 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
“Again, you do not need to be a
patient of our Urgent Care Center—or
even a patient of Thompson Health—to
use the draw station,” Shannon says.
In March alone, more than 150 people
used the lab draw station, which is one
of seven operated by Thompson.
Thompson has an additional Urgent
Care Center, also with x-ray services
and a lab draw station. It is located at
1160 Corporate Drive in Farmington and
its phone number is 585-924-1510.

Finger Lakes Family Care (FLFC) recently joined Thompson
Health, becoming the health system’s ninth primary care
location in the region.
Located at 23 North St. in Canandaigua, FLFC was
founded in 2006 by Robert L. Smith, MD, who is joined
by Family Nurse Practitioners Leigh Lafferty and Erin
Mahoney.
The practice is a patient-centered medical home, offer-
ing same-day appointments for sick and acute visits, as
well as chronic disease management supervised by an
in-house care manager. FLFC also offers secure email
communications via Medent, as well as a patient portal,
allowing patients secure, online access to health records,
prescription refills and appointment requests.
“Thompson is committed to quality, personalized
patient care, so Finger Lakes Family Care—which has
been a part of the Canandaigua community for a decade
now—is a perfect fit,” says Thompson Health Execu-
tive Vice President and COO Kurt Koczent. “We are very
excited to have them on board.”
