AVON, Ohio — The Cleveland Clinic plans on Tuesday to break ground on its $98 million Avon Family Health & Surgery Center.
Scheduled to open in 2011, the 186,000-square-foot medical center is to feature a 24-hour emergency department with a helicopter landing pad, an ambulatory surgical center, a physical therapy area with two pools and doctors from 30 specialties, as well as primary care, according to a statement.
In March, Delos “Toby” Cosgrove, Cleveland Clinic’s chief executive, announced plans to delay the start of construction for the medical center. The Clinic attributed the delay to the recession.
The Hidden Administrative Tasks Draining Small Practices
Small practices play a critical role in healthcare delivery, but they cannot continue to absorb ever-increasing administrative demands without consequences.
Cleveland Clinic in March also pushed back plans to open a similar medical center in Twinsburg. Developers broke ground on the Twinsburg center earlier this month.
