As the pandemic spread, the practice began offering private blood draws for transplant
patients who were nervous to go to the office, a practice that they still continue. Nephrology
Associates of Syracuse also continues to operate satellite locations in Camillus, Fayetteville,
Fulton and Vernon to provide access to nephrological care for patients without a mode
of transportation. A mobile team consisting of a physician, advanced practice provider,
medical assistant and phlebotomist travels together to ensure ongoing care is available
to patients.
"Providing access to rural areas and to patients who are unable to travel to the main
office is an important value and priority for the practice," Zaccheo says.
RENOVATIONS — AND INNOVATIONS — CONTINUE
The renovations at Nephrology Associates of Syracuse will better support the new
workflows and provide an enhanced patient experience. There will be a new clinical
laboratory, a new blood draw room, two new patient bathrooms, a renovated waiting
room, a new reception area, two new bariatric exam rooms, a new medical assistant
area and a new break room for employees.
"Our goal is to enhance the patient experience and improve collaboration among
team members," Zaccheo says. "The changes will enable our team to further optimize
clinical workflows and enhance communication, as well as upgrade the office and work
environment for patients, staff and providers."
