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 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.
