Manchester Memorial Hospital is moving blood draw and other services out of a Glastonbury medical office building where it had seen dwindling patient volume prior to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The hospital, part of Prospect Medical-owned Eastern Connecticut Health Network (ECHN), recently asked the state Office of Health Strategy for permission to consolidate its blood draw, imaging and physical therapy outpatient services currently located at 622 Hebron Ave., known as the Glastonbury Wellness Center.
Patient volumes at ECHN’s two suites there have been “steadily declining,” the health system said, and the offices have been closed since the pandemic hit Connecticut in March.
ECHN said it will offer the services at approximately a dozen other locations in Tolland and Hartford counties, including Manchester hospital and Rockville Memorial Hospital in Vernon.
The two-story Glastonbury Wellness center contains 50,000 square feet. Healthtrax Fitness & Wellness is a major tenant, leasing more than 30,000 square feet. The gym recently reopened, as Gov. Ned Lamont eased COVID-19 restrictions on fitness centers and other businesses.
In late 2018, a Tennessee-based real estate investment trust purchased the property for $8.3 million from a venture of the Davis Companies and Marcus Partners, both based in Boston, according to assessor records.
