large enough to meet a variety of health
needs in the community, but Upstate
administrators also had the foresight to
plan for growth. The Institute currently
has five floors but can accommodate an
additiona l three stories if clinicia ns,
administrators and other team members
see a need.
" We wa nt to deca nt a ll a mbulator y
ser vices out of the hospita l, which is
cra mped for space," Dr. Daoust says.
"Doing this presents us the rare oppor-
tunity to scope out incoming practice
needs and ensure they have more space
that a llows them to grow further in the
future. Think about the impact we can
have on a rea l-time basis instead of a
patient having to wait in the ED."
To ensure the appropriate allocation of
areas within the hospital and stand-alone
clinics, Dr. Daoust and others are closely
monitoring department communications
so they ca n successfully meet future
requirements and build on their success.
"By ma king ser vices accessible and
convenient, co-located in a one-stop
shop a nd a ffordable, we're positioned
to move the needle on our community 's
hea lth," Dr. Tucker says. "The services
we offer will be robust, in addition to a
very nice experience for patients who go
to the Institute, and for the clinicians
and staff who practice there. We'll have
a model that is welcoming and easy for
referring providers as well."

groundbreaking approach to care at the

"
Patient care

go into health care
without that outlook.
It has to come first."
