WESTCHESTER HEALTH CELEBRATES FIRST ANNIVERSARY
First medical group formed in Katonah in 35 years; Small offices help physicians keep patients happy

Katonah, NY (July 22, 2008) – Westchester Health Associates, based in Katonah, is celebrating its first anniversary, and there’s a lot to celebrate. Twelve months ago, in the face of turmoil, adversity, and diversity in Northern Westchester’s medical community, the Katonah Medical Group disbanded.  No one thought a new medical group could be formed. Yet, in 16 weeks a small group of local physicians and one dedicated administrator worked tirelessly to conceptualize, plan, and build the first physician led, patient-centered medical practice to open in Katonah in 35 years.
