Well, this is one way to doctor the Novo: New York Methodist Hospital is opening an ambulatory care and infusion center in the ground floor of 4th Avenue’s largest condo. The outpatient facility will replace the one currently across the street from the hospital’s 7th avenue building, according to Lyn Hill, the institution’s VP for communication and external affairs, and serve outpatients who need infusions (mostly people undergoing chemotherapy). Hill says the facility should be open by the end of this year and will likely have regular daytime business hours. Doesn’t seem like this’ll do much to change 4th Avenue’s lack of pedestrian-friendly features in the same way retail would, but at least it’s a potentially valuable medical facility for the community.
