Soundview Healthcare Network has opened an Extended Hours Center that provides non-emergency healthcare for patients of all ages when regular medical clinics are closed or when individuals and families are unable to get a timely appointment with their own physician.
SoundviewÂ’s Extended Hours Center is located at 731 White Plains Road, in the Bronx, New York, and is open from 8:30 AM to 11:00 PM, Monday through Friday and on Saturdays from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM. Laboratory and diagnostic X-ray services are available and an on-site pharmacy is also available for Extended Hours Center patients.
“Soundview Extended Hours Center is for non-emergency medical problems such as sore throats, ear infections, cuts and bruises, wound care, colds, fevers, and mild to moderate asthma attacks,” said Augustine Alifo, MD, Director of Soundview Extended Hours Center. “Other more serious injuries and illnesses are best treated at a hospital’s emergency department.” “You do not need to be a regular Soundview patient,” Dr. Alifo added, “just walk in and receive medical treatment when you need it most.”
Pedro Espada Jr., President of Soundview Healthcare Network said, “Our aim is to provide convenient healthcare services that benefit the community and to provide that care whenever it is needed. There is no reason why quality primary care should be available only from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Soundview’s five centers will soon become the place where Bronx residents can be seen in the evening for their medical care, and not have to be absent from work or school the following day.”
