St. Mary’s Resumes OB/GYN Care at Johnstown Family Health Center, Improving Access to Women’s Health Services in Fulton County
AMSTERDAM, N.Y., Jan. 23, 2025—St. Mary’s Healthcare is once again providing OB/GYN care in Johnstown, increasing access to women’s health services in Fulton County.
OB/GYN providers now see patients Monday through Thursday at the hospital’s Johnstown Family Health Center at 700 South Perry Street. St. Mary’s also continues to provide OB/GYN care at its OB/GYN Health Center on the main hospital campus.
St. Mary’s temporarily halted women’s healthcare services in Johnstown during the COVID-19 pandemic, in part due to staffing shortages. Additional providers have since joined the OB/GYN team. As a result, Dr. James Izzano, Physician Assistant Alisa Amell, Certified Nurse Midwife Stacy Arminio and Family Nurse Practitioner Taylor Fadrowski each provide care one day a week in the Johnstown office.
“We know that convenience makes an enormous difference in patients’ ability to access quality healthcare and realize the resulting benefits,” Dr. Izzano said. “As part of our commitment to our patients, we were determined to return to Johnstown as soon as staffing would allow. That time has come, and we are thrilled to be honoring that commitment.”
The practice is accepting new patients in Johnstown and Amsterdam. For an appointment, call (518) 842-0373.
