Highlights

• Designed to eliminate contact with protestors, the new entrance directly off the larger parking lot increases patient privacy and secure access to services.

• Renovation increased number of patient exam rooms, created a separate surgical suite, added an education wing for teen peer education programs, and provided a more energy efficient footprint.

• Multi-million dollar building reconstruction at this Genesee St./Francis Street location represents an investment in the community (specifically the West Utica neighborhood)

• Building named Margaret M. Roberts Center (for Planned Parenthood Mohawk Hudson Co-President/CEO)

• Bright with natural light, this modern facility retains a few historical architectural fetaures of the building.
