October 12, 2020 – Stanford Health is moving ahead with plans for major construction projects in the next few years that include a new heart center and continued renovation of its orthopedic specialty center.
The two planned projects will cost around $43 million to $46 million for the new heart and vascular center and about $35 million to $40 million for renovation and equipment upgrades at its orthopedic center at Sanford’s South University campus.
The new heart and vascular center is in the design phase. Infrastructure and site preparation work is scheduled for fall of 2021, with groundbreaking in the spring of 2022 and completion by fall of 2023.
The size of the new heart center will range from 80,000-100,000 square feet and will house all outpatient departments related to Sanford’s Heart Center of Excellence Program, most of which now are located at the Broadway campus.
The first phase of renovations is already under way at Sanford’s South University campus that focuses on orthopedic surgery, sports medicine and rehabilitation. The first phase, scheduled for completion in spring of 2021, includes a new entrance. A second phase will add up to four operating rooms, expand urgent care space and add medical imaging capabilities, including an onsite MRI.
