GLEN COVE, NY A $5.5-million makeover and expansion is underway at Glen Cove Hospital. The hospital is overhauling its outpatient Family Medicine Center, which was built in the 1970s and is located on the first floor. The practice will be moved to a modernized space on the third floor.

The new, 6,660 square-foot center will provide personalized medical services to patients of all ages, offering primary, prenatal and pediatric care, preventative services, behavioral health and gynecological services to underserved populations and other residents.

Kerri Anne Scanlon, Glen Cove Hospital's executive director, called the center "state-of-the-art." Meanwhile, Barbara Keber, chair of family medicine at the hospital and vice chair of family medicine at Northwell Health, said the new center will not only accommodate more patients, but will create a "welcoming and modern environment." It will also improve clinical care and collaboration, she said.

Here are five things to know about the renovation project.

1. The new center will feature 12 exam rooms, bedside ultrasound machines, a procedure room, laboratory and medication room and modern reception and seating areas.

2. A large, glass enclosed area will be the focal point of the space, offering central views and monitoring of the center. It will also allow clinical team members to huddle before visiting patients in a confidential setting.

3. More than 18,500 patients are expected to be served by the new center, an increase in patient volume of 40 percent.

4. The hospital expects the center will open in late spring.

5. The expansion comes after three years of focused fundraising efforts by community members. To date, the community has raised $3.5 million.
