"Queens Medical Plaza represents the future of health care delivery," Wilkin said. "The location and space is ideal for a multi-disciplinary facility. It can accommodate numerous suites for a full range of medical services, such as on-site diagnostics, primary care, physical therapy and specialty care." The location will allow for the cost-effective delivery of quality health care, Wilkin said, because the cost per square foot of real estate in western Queens is "roughly one-third the amount in nearby Manhattan." In addition, a hospital, insurance company or managed care firm could house numerous physicians and provide comprehensive services under one roof, thus creating significant economies of scale. Adapting One Queens Plaza for medical use, Wilkin notes, is in response to a tremendous and immediate need to provide health care to more than 725,000 residents and 66,500 employees located within a two-mile radius in western Queens, an area which encompasses Astoria, Long Island City, Sunnyside and Woodside. "It would provide medicine where it's needed most," she said, citing a recent report finding that half of all admissions to Manhattan hospitals had Queens addresses.
