Northern Oswego County Health

What Northern Oswego County Health does

Northern Oswego County Health Services Inc., operating as ConnextCare, is a nonprofit Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) headquartered in Pulaski, New York, delivering comprehensive primary and behavioral healthcare across Oswego County. The organization operates six physical clinic locations (Central Square, Fulton, Mexico, Oswego, Phoenix, Pulaski) and on-site School-Based Health Centers across six school districts, supported by a telehealth channel for remote consultations and a workforce of 290+ employees. Service lines span family medicine, internal medicine, pediatrics, dental, mental health (including counseling, psychiatry, and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners), substance use disorder treatment, and preventive care — positioning ConnextCare as an integrated care platform for county residents at every life stage.

The business operates under a multi-payer revenue model: it bills insurance (commercial, Medicaid, Medicare), offers self-pay and sliding-fee arrangements via a payment platform (checkinasyst), and receives federal HHS funding as a deemed FQHC. FTCA deemed health center status provides Federal Public Health Service malpractice coverage, materially reducing operating risk. Distribution is direct-to-patient through physical clinics, school-based sites, and telehealth, with community-facing marketing concentrated on Facebook, the connextcare.org website, and local events such as the inaugural C.A.R.E. Day. Recent operational moves include a new Oswego office opened in March 2025, a $73,000 Shineman Foundation grant for School-Based Health Center expansion (February 2025), and multiple clinical hires throughout 2025 strengthening mental health and primary care capacity. Quality recognition in 2025 includes five concurrent gold-level clinical awards and a 2024 HRSA Operational Site Visit, signaling sustained operational compliance.
