Farmington Medical Group Now Open

A year and a half after breaking ground, we opened the doors of our new Farmington Medical Group to patients on Monday, August 7.

Housing both our Farmington Family Medicine practice and the Farmington location of our OB/GYN practice, the new facility offers an experienced medical staff providing newborn care, pediatrics, adult medicine, women’s health, obstetrics, and gynecology.

“As Thompson continues to expand our primary care capabilities, this new facility will help us better serve our growing population,” said Executive Vice President/COO Kurt Koczent.

With 10,000 square feet, Farmington Medical Group has 17 exam rooms, a lactation room for breast-feeding mothers, and on-site OB/GYN ultrasound. In addition, with more space than its previous location on Corporate Drive, the OB/GYN practice has enhanced ability to offer consultation appointments for advanced gynecologic surgical needs.

Farmington Family Medicine’s Dr. Morgan Paul, who first joined the practice at its former Route 96 location in 2022, is now joined by Dr. Katherine Rast – formerly of our Lima Family Practice – along with Family Nurse Practitioner Ashley Manning.

On the OB/GYN team, Dr. Jillian Babu and Physician Assistant Morgan Bessey are now joined in the new location by Certified Nurse-Midwife Shannon Welker. Shannon is accepting new patients, and Dr. Babu is accepting patients for surgical consults only.

FUN FACTS

With a project of such magnitude, we thought it would be fun to ask our Facility Services Department how much material went into the building designed by Rozzi Architects and built by Genesee Construction.

Here’s what we found out:

• 920 sheets of drywall
• 72 yards of carpet tile
• 725 yards of broadloom carpet
• 42 windows
• 247 doors (includes cupboard doors)
• 224 lights (includes under-the-cabinet lights)

Thank you to everyone who had a hand in bringing it all together!
