NORWICH – Nov. 1 marks the start of Chenango Memorial Hospital Foundation’s annual campaign and this year’s focus is on the hospital’s expansion of primary care. Plans include adding physicians and services in its health centers located in Norwich, Oxford, Sherburne, and Sidney. In fact, Demetrios Gasparis, MD, recently joined the family practice in Oxford.

“As a business owner myself, I’m glad we have Chenango Memorial in our area,” said Gretchen Walsh of Peggy Parker Real Estate, campaign chair for the CMH Foundation. “Chenango Memorial, unlike many rural hospitals, offers a variety of services, eliminating the need to go somewhere else to receive basic care.” In addition to primary care, those services include lab, radiology, general surgery, orthopedics, cardiology, and women’s health.
