OSWEGO – With a continued demand for primary care services throughout Oswego County, Oswego Health is expanding access to care and opening a second location at 98. N. 2nd St., Fulton on April 5, 2021.
“Oswego Health’s mission is to provide accessible, quality care and improve the health of residents in our community,” stated Michael Backus, Executive Vice President & Chief Operating Officer of Oswego Health.
Before the decision to open a second location in Fulton, Oswego Health heavily analyzed the community’s need for healthcare services by conducting a community needs survey. 79% of the respondents reported that they travel outside the county for healthcare services. The access to health care indicator reports the percentage of adults aged 18 and older who self-report that they do not have at least one person who they think of as their doctor or health care provider. This indicator is relevant because access to regular primary care is important to obtaining preventive healthcare and avoiding unnecessary emergency department visits.
