Westchester Disabled On the Move Opens New Headquarters in Yonkers “Medical Mile”
Westchester Disabled On the Move (WDOM) has officially opened its new headquarters in North Yonkers, marking another milestone in the continued growth of the city’s expanding healthcare and medical office corridor.
WDOM, a nonprofit organization serving people with disabilities, seniors, and low-income families throughout Westchester County, recently held a ribbon-cutting ceremony for its new fully accessible offices at One Executive Boulevard in Yonkers. The organization relocated to a 4,304-square-foot space within the newly renovated medical office property developed by Simone Development Companies.
The move reflects both WDOM’s continued growth and the increasing importance of accessibility-focused development across Westchester County.
“We are delighted to remain in Yonkers,” said Maria Samuels, Executive Director of WDOM, noting that accessibility and convenience for clients were major factors in selecting the new location.
The ribbon cutting drew several local and county officials, including Ken Jenkins, Yonkers City Council President Lakisha Collins-Bellamy, and Westchester County Legislator Nancy Barr.
County Executive Jenkins described the opening as “continued progress toward a more accessible, inclusive Westchester County for residents of all abilities.”
The new headquarters is located within what developers have branded Yonkers’ “Medical Mile,” a growing healthcare corridor anchored by medical offices and healthcare providers affiliated with organizations including St. John’s Riverside Hospital, Northwell Health, and Columbia Doctors.
Originally constructed as a traditional office building, One Executive Boulevard has been repositioned as a modern medical office property featuring upgraded accessibility, dual entrances, expanded parking, and medical-focused infrastructure.
The project also highlights a broader trend throughout the region: the adaptive reuse of older office buildings into healthcare, medical, and service-oriented spaces. As demand for traditional office space continues to evolve, many property owners and developers are exploring healthcare and community-service uses as long-term redevelopment opportunities.
For the real estate industry, projects like this demonstrate how accessibility, healthcare infrastructure, and community-centered redevelopment are increasingly shaping investment and development activity across Westchester and the Hudson Valley.
Founded more than 40 years ago, WDOM continues to advocate for independent living and provide services that help residents access healthcare, housing, transportation, and social support programs throughout the county.
