The 3,760-square-foot expansion will add new clinical space, including 10 exam rooms and is expected to be completed later this summer. The expansions will be an extension of the hospital, with the separate building that currently houses Lakeland Heart and Vascular to be converted to additional parking space.
“The decision to consolidate all heart and vascular services in one location within the hospital will help improve access and convenience for patients seeking cardiac care,” said Ray Cruse, president of the hospital. “The added clinical space will also allow the Niles cardiology group to increase patient volumes while providing a better overall patient experience.”
The expansion is part of a larger $2.9 million project to upgrade the hospital’s orthopedic and bariatric units.
At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
