“Like many hospitals that were built before cities grew around them, we are almost out of room on our hospital campus,” Angelo Calbone, president and CEO at Saratoga Hospital, said in a statement. “To best serve our growing community, we must find ways to reserve space at the hospital for care that simply can’t be provided anywhere else.”

The IT and other support functions will be the first to relocate from the hospital’s main campus to the more than 56,000-square-foot space. Saratoga Hospital plans to move staff and services to the Sears in phases.

As the IT staff and other departments relocate, Saratoga Hospital will reconfigure its main campus to meet patient needs, including adding more inpatient rooms and services.
