Compassionate Emergency Medicine Physicians Bring High-Quality, Affordable Urgent Care to the Community
PORT CHESTER, N.Y. – (November 22, 2023) – A pair of seasoned emergency medicine physicians and healthcare entrepreneurs are thrilled to announce the grand opening of their second American Family Care (AFC) location at 50 Westchester Ave, Port Chester, NY 10601. The clinic, owned by Dr. Jijoe Joseph and Dr. Ilya Parizh, is set to open its doors on November 22, 2023, and will offer a wide range of medical services to the community.
“Having worked in emergency rooms in underserved communities for years, we understand the dire need for quality, affordable healthcare,” says Dr. Jijoe Joseph, CEO/Chief Medical Officer of AFC-East Hanover and the new AFC Port Chester. “We’re not just an urgent care; we’re family care. Our commitment to the Port Chester community is not just professional — it’s deeply personal.”
About the Physicians/Owners
Dr. Jijoe Joseph brings more than 17 years of experience in the healthcare industry, with a focus on emergency medicine and urgent care. Dr. Ilya Parizh, an Emergency Medicine trained physician with six years of clinical practice, specializes in pre-hospital care, disaster management, and mass casualty scenarios.
The pair opened their first AFC location in East Hanover, New Jersey, in February of 2022. After seeing what an impact they had in that area, they were eager to branch out with another location to help even more people get access to affordable healthcare.
“Port Chester has a large immigrant population that is often overlooked when it comes to healthcare,” says Dr. Ilya Parizh, CEO/Chief Operating Officer at AFC-East Hanover and the new AFC Port Chester. “We’re here to change that. We’re here to be a part of this community, to serve this community, and to make healthcare accessible for everyone.”
