New York's Vassar Brothers Medical Center Plans Expansion
Vassar Brothers Medical Center in Poughkeepsie, N.Y., has proposed a $66 million expansion project that includes the construction of an ambulatory surgery center, according to the Poughkeepsie Journal.
Officials from the hospital announced the plans last year as part of an effort to reduce crowding and improve parking at the hospital, according to the report.
VBMC has proposed a 78,000 square-foot medical complex that would include an ASC as part of the project, according to the report. Other additions include an 850-space parking garage and a cafeteria.
If approved by the board, construction could begin this summer and completed by the end of 2011. A public hearing will be held on Feb. 2.
