Daniel P..Moen, president and CEO of Sisters of Providence Health System, speaks during the groundbreaking ceremony for the new medical office center at Mercy Medical Center campus in Springfield on Monday.
SPRINGFIELD – Sisters of Providence Health System, joined by its partners and local officials, launched a $20 million construction project at Mercy Medical Center on Monday to build a $20 million, state-of-the-art outpatient medical office center.
The groundbreaking ceremony occurred in an outer parking lot at Carew and Chestnut streets, the site of the new medical building. The project is a joint venture with the Hampden County Physician Associates and Carew Chestnut Partners.
“This is all about partnerships,” said Daniel P. Moen, president and chief executive officer of Sisters of Providence Health System. “The bricks and mortar are important. What’s more important is the care that will be rendered in these facilities for decades to come, and all the patients that will see their lives improved by this facility and the team that works there.
A 75,000 square foot, three-story building will be constructed and is scheduled for opening by December of 2013. The project is privately funded.
U.S. Rep. Richard E. Neal, D-Springfield, and Mayor Domenic J. Sarno were among officials attending the ceremony.
