The phased opening of the Nappi Wellness Institute has been completed and as of July 25 all clinical spaces were in operation.

The last of more than a dozen services—University Internists, Adult Medicine and Inclusive Health Services—opened in their new locations Tuesday.

In the past month, while not all clinic spaces were open, the Nappi Wellness Institute recorded more 5,500 patient appointments.

The response from patients and employees has been overwhelmingly positive. The beautiful expansive clinical spaces to the innovative workspaces, and the quick attention from the in-house pharmacy have all been cited by visitors to the building. One patient is said to have told their physician that it was worth getting sick just to come to the building and get better.

The five-story, 209,615 square foot building, located on the corner of Sarah Loguen and East Adams streets, across the street from the Upstate Cancer Center, is the centerpiece of Upstate’s outpatient care, bringing key ambulatory services under one roof.

The building is named for Sam and Carol Nappi, whose $8 million gift to the Upstate Foundation is the largest monetary gift in the foundation history.

The ribbon-cutting for the opening was held June 2 and attracted Gov. Hochul and SUNY Chancellor King, as well as members of the Nappi family and other dignitaries.
