The building has been empty for more than a year after LA Fitness shuttered the location in March 2023, and Advocate’s project proposal is now headed for city council final approval.
The vacated lot is 45,000 square feet, and Advocate Health Care, which is part of Charlotte, N.C.-based Advocate Health, plans to be the sole occupant. The outpatient center will provide cardiac services with one procedure room, as well as associated prep and post-recovery services. It will also offer primary care, cardiovascular clinician offices, cardiac diagnostic services, lab and imaging.
If Advocate receives the final necessary approvals, it plans to start redevelopments on the building at the end of 2024. It anticipates welcoming patients as early as January 2026.
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.
