AMHERST, OHIO — Kansas City-based healthcare real estate group Monument Healthcare Development, in partnership with University Hospitals (UH), has broken ground on a new health campus in Amherst, about 28 miles west of Cleveland.
The project will include two buildings, including an ambulatory surgery center (ASC) that will house five operating rooms and one procedure room. There will also be six recovery-focused Stay Suites in the same building as the ASC, which will focus on orthopedic surgical procedures. The Stay Suites are part of the Muve program, a value-based surgical care program offered by ValueHealth. The facility will also provide general orthopedic, spine, ear, nose and throat and pain management services. In addition to the ASC, there will be a medical office building to house physicians and other providers across a variety of medical and surgical specialties.
Completion is slated for the fourth quarter of 2023. The project team includes CTL Engineering, architect ESa and J.E. Dunn Construction Co. In 2020, UH unveiled that it had formed a joint venture to expand its ambulatory surgical network.
