OMC board to review plans for new medical office building

Published 10:52 am Wednesday, April 15, 2015

The Olympic Medical Center Board of Commissioners is holding a special meeting at noon on Thursday, April 16, in Linkletter Hall in the lower level conference area of Olympic Memorial Hospital, 939 Caroline St., Port Angeles.

Rice Fergus Miller Architects will present design plans for a new medical office building in Port Angeles. The public is invited to attend.

The construction project, OMC representatives say, will allow the organization to locate many services in one building adjacent to the hospital.

The building will have space for 30 physicians and their teams, 60 exam rooms, five treatment rooms and a walk-in clinic.

Some of the services planned for this new facility include prompt care (walk-in clinic), primary care, orthopedics, cardiology, general surgery and urology.

The project will provide much-needed clinical space and patient parking, OMC representatives say, as well as consolidating traffic and enhancing campus safety.

The project will be placed for public bid mid-May and has an estimated completion date of August 2016.

The board of commissioners is accepting public input regarding the presentation, though no formal action will be taken.
