SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY, October 8, 2018 – The providers at Myrtle Street Obstetrics & Gynecology have joined Saratoga Hospital Medical Group, and the practice has been renamed to reflect the new relationship with Saratoga Hospital. The practice is now Saratoga OB/GYN at Myrtle Street, an affiliate of Saratoga Hospital. The two practice locations have not changed; the current staff will be retained.
 
“We are delighted to welcome our colleagues to the hospital’s multi-specialty group,” said David M. Mastrianni, MD, senior vice president of Saratoga Hospital Medical Group. “This practice has been providing outstanding women’s health services to the greater Saratoga community for more than 40 years. Now, as part of our multi-specialty group, we can provide a higher level of coordinated care for all of our patients, improved access to care, and realize an enhanced sharing of best practices, administrative resources, and operational efficiencies.”
 
Saratoga Hospital anticipates adding providers to the practice, as well as establishing a greater degree of collaboration with the Saratoga Hospital Medical Group Midwifery and Women’s Health Services practice located in Wilton. Saratoga OB/GYN at Myrtle Street is the latest addition to Saratoga Hospital’s growing commitment to women’s health across a broad range of programs and services in the greater Saratoga community. This commitment includes the medical group’s Midwifery practice and the Women’s Primary Care practice, the Saratoga Center for Breast Care and Women’s Imaging services on the Wilton campus, as well as a wide range of community education programs and support groups.
 
“This is an exciting new chapter in how we work together with Saratoga Hospital, creating new opportunities for our patients and practitioners,” said Amy Knoeller, MD. “Combining our strengths creates a new depth of services and expertise to deliver better continuity of personalized, compassionate women’s healthcare.”
 
Saratoga OB/GYN at Myrtle Street remains at 59 Myrtle Street in Saratoga Springs, with an office also located at 2105 Ellsworth Boulevard in Malta. For more information, visit SaratogaOBGYN.org or SaratogaHospital.org.
