White Plains Hospital Center, part of the Montefiore Health System, has submitted plans to the New York State Department of Health to construct a new outpatient cardiac clinic in Mount Kisco. The 2,320-square-foot facility will provide echocardiography and cardiac stress testing services. Located approximately 18 miles from the hospital’s main campus in White Plains, the project is estimated to cost $1.8 million.
The proposed WPH Mount Kisco Diagnostic Center is intended to expand access to cardiac care within Northern Westchester. Hospital spokesperson Michael Gelormino stated that the new site would complement existing multispecialty outpatient practices already operating in Westchester, including locations in Yonkers and Yorktown Heights.
According to the filing, the hospital anticipates the clinic will handle over 2,500 patient visits in its first year, rising to nearly 2,800 visits by the third year. The project is expected to be paid for in cash and completed within seven months. This expansion reflects a broader trend among hospital systems to develop ambulatory care sites outside of main campuses, particularly for cardiac procedures and testing, which can reduce overhead costs by avoiding inpatient admissions.
Montefiore’s move to increase its outpatient footprint in Westchester aligns with the system’s ongoing efforts to extend specialty care services beyond the Bronx and into surrounding suburban communities. The Mount Kisco clinic will be the latest addition to the hospital’s regional outpatient network.
