Sioux Falls, S.D.-based Avera Heart Hospital has broken ground on a $21.5 million addition.
The 35,000-square-foot expansion will house diagnostic imaging services and administrative space, clearing space for services at North Central Heart, a specialty clinic attached to the hospital, according to a Nov. 4 news release from Avera.
North Central Heart and Avera is staffed by 22 cardiologists and is adding more providers.
The three-story addition marks the largest construction project at the heart hospital since being built in 2001.
Avera leaders expect the expansion to be completed next winter, the release said.
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.
