Groundbreaking Ceremony Marks Construction Milestone for Iain Mackenzie Medical Plaza And New Surgery Center
YORK, Pa., June 1 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Congero Development, LLC, hosted a groundbreaking ceremony for the Iain Mackenzie Medical Plaza, a new destination health care campus in York, Penn. The 7.3 acre project will include Brookeside Surgical Arts at York, a Medicare certified and Joint Commission accredited Ambulatory Surgery Facility (ASF).  The namesake of the project, Dr. Iain Mackenzie, was in attendance along with members of the state Legislature, Representatives Ron Miller and Stan Saylor; York County Commissioners Christopher Reilly and Doug Hoke; York Township Commissioner Phillip Briddell; and from the City of York, Councilmember Genevieve Ray and Treasurer Karin Krebs. Approximately 120 people were in attendance including physician partners from Digestive Disease Center and Martin Foot and Ankle, government officials, project contractors and other stakeholders, along with their families. "This project is resulting from the vision of our amazing physician partners, the cooperation of local government, and the support of Susquehanna Bancshares," said Bruce Wallace, CEO of Congero Development. "Together with our partners, we are committed to realizing your vision and bringing a new standard of surgical care to the York community." The Iain Mackenzie Medical Plaza is intended to bring together existing and needed services in one convenient location for residents, and is expected to create approximately 150 new, highly compensated jobs with benefits. Located at 2050 South Queen Street at the former Blazenet site, the plaza will include three medical buildings, the first of which houses 8,100 square feet of medical office space plus an additional 16,500 square feet for the ASF. Dr. Mackenzie founded Digestive Disease Center, which is among the first committed tenants of the new medical plaza. "I stand here today with gratitude for being recognized by my fellow surgeons and friends with this extraordinary honor," said Dr. Iain Mackenzie, now retired. "When I came to York and opened my practice, I could have never imagined it would someday lead to having my name on a building, let alone this impressive project." Brookeside Surgical Arts at York is being developed in partnership with local surgeons as an innovative, multi-specialty surgical facility. Brookeside will be housed in the first medical building on the property and includes six operating rooms with private recovery and step down areas. Designed by award winning medical architecture firm Anthony C. Pings and Associates, Brookeside will bring together functional aesthetics with the most sophisticated surgical and infection control technologies available. "This will be no ordinary ASF. Brookeside Surgical Arts will bypass 'state-of-the-art' to embrace technology that is on the leading edge of our industry," said Anthony Pings, architectural partner and ACHA-certified healthcare architect. "Every detail of this center has been purposefully designed to deliver efficiency while supporting sophisticated systems for advanced infection control and surgical equipment." The medical offices at Iain Mackenzie Medical Plaza are anticipated to be complete this winter, with the surgery center tracking toward a Spring 2010 opening.
