Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital in the US has opened a new paediatrics outpatient practice at 8687 Carling Road in Liverpool, New York, relocating its Upstate Paediatrics operations from Baldwinsville.

The new facility, located near the Wegman’s Great Northern store, more than doubles the space of the former practice site, expanding from 5,600ft² and 12 exam rooms to 12,133ft² and 20 exam rooms.

It also includes a dedicated room to monitor behavioural health concerns.

In addition to the paediatrics practice, the site houses a physical medicine and rehabilitation (PMR) centre, which was established at the location in May 2024.

The building also consolidates several Upstate services, including the Patient Blood Draw Service Centre, into a single facility.

The expanded facility includes a child-friendly waiting area, a colour-coded wayfinding system, and murals in each exam room.

Six physicians, one licensed social worker specialising in behavioural health, and a part-time behavioural health nurse practitioner will serve patients at the new location.

The Liverpool site previously served as a campus for Bryant and Stratton College before it vacated the premises in 2020.

Renovations for the facility were carried out by King and King Architects, with engineering support from Argus Engineering, and construction services provided by Parson-McKenna Construction.

Upstate Golisano Children’s Hospital executive director, paediatrics chair, and professor Gregory Conners said: “We’re poised for growth and expansion of services in this location.

“The desire for our paediatric services is growing, and we need to accommodate patients and families in a top-tier setting, which we have today.”
