The Conklin office was flooded again and our recovery is still in progress. With the help and input of our staff and patients we quickly made the decision to return to Eastern Broome County. We are excited to say that we are planning on moving to the previous NYS Police Barracks on Route 11 in Kirkwood. It is only 3.5 miles and 5 minutes from our previous location. There are many things that need to be done and we are looking forward to beginning renovations soon anticipating our reopening to be in early 2012.
