Rye Brook, NY (July 24, 2018) – Yale New Haven Health Northeast Medical Group (NEMG) in collaboration with Greenwich Hospital hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Monday to officially open the Northeast Medical Group Multispecialty Center in Rye Brook, NY.

The Rye Brook facility offers a variety of services including pediatrics, primary care and walk-in with x-ray imaging. Lab services will be provided by Greenwich Hospital.

“We are excited to expand our current array of services in Rye Brook. Our goal is bring outpatient services to the community, which enables area residents to access high-quality medical care close to home,” said Dr. Prathibha Varkey, MBBS, president and chief executive officer for NEMG. “We have more than 880 clinicians serving Connecticut, New York and Rhode Island. We are proud that our physicians are consistently rated high in patient satisfaction, and many are recognized as Top Doctors in the state.”
