New Medical Office Building Coming to WestCare Campus
Regional Hospital Campus in Sylva. The new 45,000-square-foot three-story building
will house physician practices and free up space to allow for additional
medical staff growth.
“Currently most of the physician office space on the Harris Regional
Hospital campus is occupied, so we’re very excited about the development of
this new building which will provide the opportunity for our medical staff
to grow and for hospital related functions to expand, so that we can better
serve the community” said Mark Leonard, CEO, WestCare Health System.”
WestCare has recruited 11 new physicians and 7 new midlevels during the
past 6 months. These providers will be starting practice over the next
several months and this building will help in housing these physicians and
allow for future growth of the medical staff. The building will also house
an outpatient laboratory and x-ray to make access easier for patients.
WestCare states that no capital or foundation money from WestCare is being
used to fund these projects. In the joint venture, developers will pay for
the construction of the building, and then will lease out the space to the
medical staff. WestCare will ground lease the land to the developer,
Colony Development Partners of Charlotte, NC.
The healthcare division of Colony Development Partners is a full-service
turnkey healthcare development company whose principals have experience in
all types of medical facilities with an emphasis on specialty hospitals,
speculative medical office buildings, hospital-sponsored medical office
buildings, ambulatory surgery centers and care centers, and
single-physician practice medical office buildings. The healthcare division
is currently developing medical offices and healthcare facilities
nationally with offices in Charlotte and Nashville.
WestCare Health System looks forward to affiliating with Haywood Regional
Medical Center and Carolinas HealthCare System (CHS). The newly integrated
network will enhance its commitment to the people of Western North Carolina
by improving the quality of available services, offering new services, and
providing more people with access to needed care. CHS is one of the leading
systems in the Carolinas, and currently owns, leases or manages 25
hospitals in North and South Carolina.
