WESTMED Medical Group Marks Grand Opening of New Westchester Facility

WESTMED Medical Group, a large, Purchase-based multi-specialty medical practice, joined elected and community leaders, and developers Simone Healthcare Development and Fareri Associates May 13 to mark the grand opening of its fifth full-service office in Westchester County.

The new four-story, 85,000-square-foot medical office building is located at 3030 Westchester Ave. in the newly renamed Purchase Professional Park in Purchase.

The grand opening marks the first new office construction along the I-287 corridor in more than 25 years.

Executives from WESTMED, Simone and Fareri Associates were joined by local elected and community leaders at the ceremony, including Harrison Town Supervisor Ronald Belmont and Westchester Deputy County Executive Kevin Plunkett.

In the heart of Westchester’s Platinum Mile (I-287), the Purchase Professional Park has a park-like campus with four modern buildings (3000, 3010, 3020 and the new 3030 Westchester Avenue) totaling 220,000 square feet of office and medical space.

“When our medical organizations merged in 1999, my partner and I, Dr. Barney Newman, were concerned that one of the most desirable areas to live in the U.S. was characterized as having fragmented, uncoordinated health care,” said Dr. Simeon Schwartz, President and CEO of WESTMED Medical Group, in a prepared statement. “Our vision was to bring coordinated, efficient and quality medical care to a wide spectrum of the population. Sixteen years later, as we open our 5th full-service office, WESTMED sees ever-larger numbers of patients seeking out the right services at the right time rather than more costly care, with unnecessary tests and avoidable hospitalizations.”

WESTMED Medical Group’s specialties in the new building include: Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Colorectal Surgery, Critical Care, Dermatology, Endocrinology, ENT, Gynecologic Oncology, Healthy Measures weight management program, Mohs Surgery, Nephrology, Neurology, Orthopedics, Palliative Medicine, Plastic Surgery, Pulmonology and Reproductive Endocrinology.
