Bristol Hospital on Monday debuted its new 60,000-square-foot ambulatory care center at the corner of Main Street and Riverside Avenue.
The $26 million downtown facility is occupied by the hospital’s multi-specialty group to provide services in cardiology, endocrinology, neurology, orthopedics, rheumatology and urology. It also has laboratory, physical and occupational therapy services.
The Bristol Health Medical Group broke ground on the development more than a year ago with co-owner and national developer, Rendina Healthcare Real Estate, which will operate the facility.
Bristol Health CEO and President Kurt A. Barwis said the new building has the potential to spur future development at the site of the former Bristol Centre Mall.
“It was our board of directors who in 2015, felt that since access to care was a priority identified in our community health needs assessment, that we should pursue this project,” Barwis said.
“Even back then, we knew that this would be a win-win for numerous stakeholders including Bristol Health, the City and our patients and families,” he said.
