Perry Avenue Family Medical Center (PAFM) will hold a grand opening for its new Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department on Thursday, Oct. 18.
This new department will provide consultation, diagnostics, treatment and rehabilitation of musculoskeletal and neuromuscular conditions affecting children, adults and the elderly.
Although Perry Avenue Medical has been providing a wide variety of medical services for more than 20 years in the community, Dr. Ritu Ahuja said in a statement that the new division allows for greater focus on the northwest Bronx.
The grand opening will feature a health fair, screenings and education services in an open, interactive environment.
“[With] the changing landscape of healthcare, everyone is so confused. We want to make the community aware of our services and our staff aware of neighborhood needs. It’s easier for patients and doctors, ” said Ahuja in a statement.
Ed. note: The health fair is from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Perry Avenue Family Medical is located at 3071 Perry Ave. For more information, call Tina Marie Denizard at (718) 652-7995 or visit www.perrymd.co
