Sarasota Memorial Health Care System purchases former newspaper headquarters

Sarasota (Fla.) Memorial Health Care System has finalized its purchase of the former Sarasota Herald-Tribune building, where it is planning a $17.3 million renovation, according to the Herald-Tribune.

The hospital paid $10.68 million for the building and plans to relocate over 300 support-service personnel there. The move will free up space for growth at the hospital's main campus and improve interdepartmental efficiencies.

"Purchasing the former Herald-Tribune building is a good move for the hospital and the community. It will allow us to expand clinical areas to better serve our growing community and relocate about 300 nonclinical staff members who now work in multiple sites to one downtown location," said Tramm Hudson, a member of the hospital's board. "We believe centralizing those team members will enable greater collaboration and efficiencies as well as provide additional parking on our main campus for our patients and visitors."
