HORIZON HEALTH SERVICES OFFERS COMPLETE MEDICAL CARE THROUGH ITS THREE FULL-SERVICE MEDICAL SERVICES CLINICS IN ERIE AND NIAGARA COUNTIES

Buffalo, NY, September 2006 -- Erie and Niagara County residents have another option for quality healthcare and treatment of such common illnesses as hypertension and diabetes at Horizon Health Services’ three full-service Medical Services Clinics.

The doctors, nurses, therapists and other healthcare staff at Horizon’s Medical Services Clinics, located on Hertel Avenue and on Bailey Avenue in the City of Buffalo and on Pine Avenue in Niagara Falls, NY, are dedicated to delivering a comprehensive range of diagnostic and treatment services in a compassionate and comfortable environment for anyone seeking medical assistance.

The clinics offer primary care services five days a week, including management and treatment of all major diseases and conditions. Same-day sick appointments are available, as are referrals to specialists. Clinic staff members are on call 24 hours to address after-hours needs and emergencies.
Medicare, Medicaid and most other insurance plans are accepted. The Clinics are certified by the New York State Department of Health, and all
are located on major bus routes.

“We believe in a holistic approach when treating the mental health and addiction issues of our consumers,” says Horizon CEO Anne Constantino. “That involves providing quality medical care as well, particularly since research does indicate the medications used can lead to medical problems such as diabetes. For this reason, we wanted to be able to offer our consumers a fully-staffed medical clinic where they can receive the healthcare they otherwise might not have access to. We are equally as pleased that we can offer this same level of healthcare to all nearby residents of Erie and Niagara Counties.”

Horizon Health Services is the largest and most comprehensive provider of fully-integrated mental health, behavioral health, chemical dependency, medical and vocational treatment and recovery services in Western New York. The not-for-profit organization operates nine outpatient clinics in Erie and Niagara Counties and a 50-bed residential facility in Sanborn, NY.
