Kansas facility plans major re-construction, remodeling

St. Rose Ambulatory & Surgery Center to raze two buildings and remodel office building


The St. Rose Ambulatory & Surgery Center in Great Bend, Kan., plans to raze two buildings and remodel a medical office building in a major re-construction plan, according to an article on the Great Bend Tribune website.

The main building, which opened 50 years ago, will be razed, as will the neighboring Allied Services Building that has been vacant for more than four years. The first floor of the newer medical office building will be remodeled.

“We have better defined our scope of services going forward and it is prudent to ensure our structures support these services,” Senior Vice President Leanne Irsik said in the article. 

“The changes in healthcare across the country reflect an emphasis on outpatient models of care and a decreasing reliance on hospitals. The reduced cost of outpatient-based care is a key factor. This new plan will enable us to provide the most effective and efficient space for patients, medical providers and other staff.

“With the move to a more efficient space, we understand there is the very real side effect of not needing as many people to do the same things we did before, when the space was larger and more inefficient.”
