Facey Medical To Open $750,000 Women’s Facility

Facey Medical To Open $750,000 Women’s Facility By JACQUELINE FOX Staff Reporter Facey Medical Group, one of the Valley’s oldest and largest medical groups, officially opens the doors on Jan. 19 to its new $750,000 OB/GYN and women’s diagnostics facility. The Women’s Center is now located inside an 8,300-square-foot building opposite Facey’s main building in Mission Hills. The center’s new building formerly housed Facey’s administrative services and related departments. Those departments have now been moved across the parking lot to the main building, originally built in 1963 and expanded in 1984. According to Dr. Fredrick Russo, Facey’s president, the older women’s center had outgrown its second-story location in the main building, primarily due to the expansion of the group’s bladder studies program over the last couple of years and the growth of Facey’s roster of OB/GYN practitioners. “Essentially, there has been a real need to expand our service area for our OB/GYN staff, but the move to the other side of the parking lot will also allow us to continue with the expansion of the services we provide for women exclusively,” said Russo. Facey has added a second mammogram machine and new ultra sound machine and diagnostics equipment. In addition, due to a growing number of women seeking help with urinary tract disorders, Facey is preparing for further expansion of its bladder studies program, including treatment of urinary incontinence, a growing field of practice, according to Russo. In addition, the new center will also make it possible for Facey to expand its outpatient surgery services for women, expected over the next couple of years. Facey held a ribbon-cutting ceremony and open house for the new center on Jan. 15.
