Minneapolis Hospital Delays Construction of $200 Million Ambulatory Care Center

The University of Minnesota Medical Center in Minneapolis will no longer begin construction on a five-story, 3000,000 square-foot ambulatory care center this spring, according to the Minneapolis/St. Paul StarTribune.

The weakened economy and credit crisis have changed the medical center’s plans — possibly until 2010.  

The joint project by Fairview Health Services and the University of Minnesota Physicians had intended to house clinics, outpatient surgery, outpatient chemotherapy, labs, imaging and a pharmacy, according to the report.

Fairview had also hoped to move some adult medical services to the new building to free-up room for the medical center’s new $175 million children’s hospital, which broke ground this past June.
