Levy told the Gazette that “as a cornerstone of our Island’s health and well-being, we are proud to continue providing compassionate care to our primary care and walk-in patients — and we’re excited to expand access for a host of new patients,” he said.
“Primary care practices across the country are at a crossroads. We are choosing to expand and innovate in order to meet the growing needs of our community.”
