The building will be located just south of Mercy Hospital Oklahoma City, according to a Sept. 25 press release sent to Becker’s.
The two-level digestive health facility will provide relief to local GI patients, who previously had to travel 500 miles to South Texas for care.
The 52,000-square-foot institute will have seven procedure rooms, 21 prep/recovery rooms, a chapel, ambulatory space for gastrointestinal care, an inflammatory bowel disease clinic, colorectal surgery exam rooms, a hepatology clinic, a motility lab, education space and offices.
The center was made possible through a $7.5 million philanthropy gift, the largest individual donation Mercy Oklahoma has ever received.
