As the region’s first and only hospital dedicated exclusively to orthopedics, we recognize the growing need for specialized care with enhanced access, comfort and convenience. To meet that need in our local community, we are
expanding our hospital to include more than 22,000 square feet of new space and renovating an
additional 32,000 square feet of existing space.
Construction on our new wing
was completed in spring 2018. Our newly expanded and renovated hospital will
include:
Three new surgical suites (for a total of eight operating rooms)
All new, modern inpatient rooms (nearly doubling the current number of
inpatient rooms)
Dedicated space for our onsite
Ortho Urgent Care
center, which will enable us to extend our urgent care hours to include
weekdays as well as evenings and weekends
Expanded clinic space for the onsite
orthopedic physician practices
In partnership with Pulse Design Group (a healthcare-specialized architectural
firm based in Kansas City) and JE Dunn Construction (a leading provider of
construction management services located in Kansas City), we are redesigning our
hospital for a more organized, patient-friendly and fully functional layout. The
new and renovated space will optimize
patient safety
and help us maintain our exceptionally clean hospital environment, while also
providing improved functionality for our providers and enhancing our
five-star patient experience.
Construction is currently underway to renovate our existing space on the north
side of the building. Our hospital will continue to operate at current capacity
throughout the expansion project. Leaders at the hospital, as well as the design
firm and construction company, have carefully planned the entire expansion and
renovation effort to minimize inconvenience for patients, visitors and staff.
We
are proud of this project and what it will bring for those who come to us for
specialized orthopedic care. Our entire team at Kansas City Orthopaedic
Institute is committed to providing advanced level of quality and expertise in
orthopedics, and expanding our hospital is an important extension of that
commitment.
