The UM board of regents voted to approve the purchase on March 28, and construction on the facility is expected to begin next year. 

While the medical center will offer a wider array of services for patients, it may be difficult to find enough employees to fill the space, according to the report. 

The care site is expected to open its doors in 2027.
