University Hospitals (UH) officials together with Concord Trustees and Senator Tim Grendell will celebrate the groundbreaking of the future UH Concord Health Center on June 11 at 4 p.m. The 60,000-square-foot ambulatory medical center will be located on Auburn Road off Route 44 in Concord Township.
The UH Concord Health Center, which is scheduled to be completed in 2009, will offer an urgent care center, primary care services for adults and children, as well as physician specialty services, such as orthopaedics and cardiology. The Health Center will house advanced diagnostics including a laboratory, radiology, cardiac testing and a surgery center.
“The construction for the UH Concord Health Center reaffirms our dedication to Northeast Ohio by further advancing the health system’s Vision 2010 strategic plan,” said Achilles Demetriou, MD, President of University Hospitals. “Vision 2010 is the largest expansion in University Hospitals’ history and exemplifies our commitment to providing the highest quality care for our patients.”
Other significant Vision 2010 building projects include the UH Ahuja Medical Center, a 600-bed inpatient hospital and outpatient medical office building in Beachwood at Chagrin Highlands. At the University Hospitals Case Medical Center, new construction includes a free-standing Cancer Hospital, Center for Emergency Medicine and Rainbow Babies & Children’s Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit that will be completely renovated and expanded.
"Making University Hospitals easily accessible to patients throughout Northeast Ohio is an important part of our mission," said Michael Nochomovitz, MD, President and Chief Medical Officer, University Hospitals Medical Practices. “The UH Concord Health Center will play an integral role in our ability to meet the healthcare needs of a growing Greater Cleveland community.”
“University Hospitals is looking forward to partnering with Concord and bringing state-of-the-art healthcare to the residents of this great township as well as the surrounding communities,” said Richard J. Frenchie, President of University Hospitals Geauga Medical Center. “Our association with Concord Township during the planning and development phase of the project has been excellent and engaging and we genuinely appreciate the collaborative spirit between our organizations. This new health center campus will feature a uniquely innovative patient-centered design to enhance the patient and family experience during the entire healthcare process.”
