The Central Peninsula Hospital expansion is moving along well and will host a variety of services when it opens.
CEO Rick Davis said the Specialties Clinic will be three stories with a basement and detailed what facilities it will house.
Davis: “That is going to have a spine center on the first floor and some supporting services for the spine center, physical therapy and imaging. Then the 2nd floor of that is going to have a couple of GI labs and some physician office space for rent for physicians, then the third floor is going to be the rest of our cancer center. So we got the radiation oncology center opened up last year and the 3rd floor of this new specialty clinics buildings going to be the components of that cancer center.”
He added they will be working on the building throughout the winter.
Davis: “The steel is up and they’re starting to dry it in, getting it closed in so they can continue to work in a warm dry place throughout the winter and it’s on track to open in February of 2016.”
The Kenai Peninsula Borough assembly appropriated the nearly $35 million dollars in bonds for the Specialties Clinic Building along with formally approving the bid award to Neeser Construction out of Anchorage for their low bid of $29,623,000 in the April 1 assembly meeting.
