The practice, located at 80-40 Cooper Ave., offers primary care and a range of specialty services, including behavioral health, cardiology, endocrinology, primary care, pulmonary medicine and urology. The space totals 8,500 square feet, including 16 exam rooms, a procedure room and units to conduct ultrasounds and echocardiogram tests. 

The new practice will act as a connector between health facilities in Queens, including Long Island Jewish Forest Hills and the Northwell Health Cancer Institute in Rego Park, said Dr. John D’Angelo, senior vice president and regional executive director of Northwell’s central region. He added that co-locating multiple specialty services at the new practice will improve the quality and efficiency of care that patients can receive in their own neighborhoods.

“The hope is that we build more primary care and more primary specialty care closer to peoples’ homes,” D’Angelo said, noting that more than half of the people who receive inpatient care at Long Island Jewish Forest Hills are Queens residents.

D’Angelo said the new practice expects to serve between 12,000 and 13,000 New Yorkers in its first year of operation and has the capacity to see roughly 35,000 patients annually. The practice will employ 10 physicians and 27 support staff.

The Glendale practice is Northwell’s fourth outpatient clinic in Queens. The health system plans to open an additional practice in Fresh Meadows in the coming months, D’Angelo said.
