MONTCLAIR, NJ — Summit Health opened a new “multispecialty health care hub” in Montclair last week, getting a big round of applause from an Essex County commissioner in the process.

Summit Health’s 30,000 square foot facility includes outpatient medical offices at 1 Seymour Street, which are located on the sixth and seventh floors of a building that is part of the new Wellmont Arts Plaza development. Read More: Grand Opening For Wellmont Arts Plaza In Montclair

With 63 total exam rooms – including a pediatric suite – the offices will provide services that include primary care, pediatrics, dermatology, orthopedics, podiatry, OBGYN, allergy, ENT and general surgery.

Other services will include pediatric otolaryngology, on-site diagnostic radiological imaging services including mammography, bone density, ultrasound, and general x-ray, an on-site lab providing phlebotomy, urinalysis and blood tests, and outpatient services, including llaryngoscopy and ENT procedures.

Summit Health has more than 2,000 providers, 9,000 employees and 200 locations in New Jersey and New York, as well as more than 130 providers and six locations in Central Oregon.

Summit Health is among the first commercial tenants to locate in the Wellmont Arts Plaza adjacent to the Wellmont Theater. A mixed-use destination developed in partnership by Ironstate Development Company and Brookfield Properties, the 2.5-acre development along Bloomfield Avenue at Seymour Street is comprised of rental apartments, office space, retail frontage, and parking.

Essex County Commissioner Brendan Gill, a Montclair resident, presented a special proclamation for the new facility at a ribbon-cutting event on Nov. 10.

“It is fitting they are among the first major businesses in the Wellmont Arts District,” Gill said. “I look forward to Summit Health’s continuous contributions to the arts in Montclair, while continuing to provide high-quality health care to the people of our community and the surrounding areas.”

Summit Health CEO Jeff Alter said the company is “thrilled” to cut the ribbon on its new Montclair hub.

“Many of our Montclair-based physicians are familiar faces here in the local community, so we are really building on our roots,” Alter said.
