The Avita Ontario South Campus will include a walk-in clinic, medical offices, a dietitian, X-ray and lab stations. There will also be a pain management facility and a retail pharmacy on site. 

Avita purchased the empty Sears in the fall of 2020 and has invested $11 million into the office campus. The office building will employ 65 to 70 people, with at least 15 newly created jobs. 

“Renovating the former Sears building allows us to add new providers and bring some of our off-site medical offices, pharmacy and walk-in clinic together in one convenient location,” Kim Winkle, vice president of operations at Avita Health System, told the Journal. 

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
