Cleveland Clinic is on track to open a new $71 million, 170,000-square-foot medical center next year in suburban Twinsburg.
The Clinic had originally projected 2009 as the opening date for the Twinsburg Family Health & Surgery Center, but delayed construction due to the weak economy.
The four-story health center is expected to employ about 300 people, the Aurora Advocate reported.
The health center will feature cardiology, colorectal surgery, neurology, OB/GYN, orthopedics, urology and vascular surgery services, plus a 24-hour emergency department and helipad.
Meanwhile, in other suburban hospital news, the Clinic has shelved plans to add a free-standing emergency room facility to its health center in Brunswick. Cleveland Clinic dropped the plans, at least temporarily, to conduct further research on the community’s needs, the Sun News reported.
