Economic Champions Miniseries - Heather Drake Bianchi, Drakos Clinical Dynamics
Today’s conversation is with Heather Drake Bianchi, CEO and Founder of Drakos Clinical Dynamics, an award winning umbrella organization created as a foundation of innovation to provide accessible laboratory and healthcare resources to all walks of life in Central New York.
Drakos Dynamics was named the 2024 Centerstate CEO Business of the Year Award in the ‘Fewer than 50 Employees category’ after opening the only standalone pediatric urgent care in the CNY area at Clay Medical Center in Liverpool to address the lack of accessible after-hours pediatric care for children and their families in the area. Following patient demand, Drakos opened a second urgent care location in Cicero that serves patients of all ages. In today’s episode you’ll hear about their team’s plan for an upcoming Camillus location as you get to know our spotlighted member!
(Note: This episode was recorded in August 2024. Since the recording, there have been some changes to the Drakos' expansion timeline. The team is now targeting a year's end of 2024 opening for its Camillus location.)
