From The President & CEO This month, we reached a new milestone in the history of our organization. On June 24, we held an official groundbreaking ceremony to commemorate the construction of our new 153,000 square-foot outpatient medical office building (MOB) and 26,000 squarefoot Spagnoli Family Cancer Center on our main campus.
Scott Batulis President & CEO
Our MOB will be home to physician and outpatient services and the new Spagnoli Family Cancer Center will provide a patient-centered healing environment. Together, these projects will create a fully integrated campus with first-class physician care, outpatient care and hospital care all at one convenient location and will continue Orange Regional on its journey of becoming a regional destination for all healthcare services. Our MOB will be five stories tall and will provide space for 75 primary and specialty care physicians. It will also house state-of-theart diagnostic imaging technology including 64 slice CT, open bore MRI, PET/CT and 3D mammography – the most advanced technology available for breast cancer detection. We will also have fantastic new operating rooms, procedure rooms, laboratory services, a retail pharmacy and more.
The Spagnoli Family Cancer Center will include radiation therapy treatment, outpatient chemotherapy and have its own healing garden for patients to enjoy. The buildings will be separate, yet located immediately adjacent to each other on the northern side of our hospital. We will also have more than 800 additional parking spaces and expand the road which encircles the hospital campus. The planning and coordination of this project was truly a team effort with hundreds of people involved in the development, design, financing and construction to get us to where we are today. It takes perseverance and some blood, sweat and tears to make a project like this successful. On this project, many people stepped up at key times including our Board of Directors, the Executive Team and Steve Sugrue, who’s been the project leader from the beginning. I want to especially thank our facilities staff and all those who have been impacted by the numerous moves that were required. Construction is now in full gear and we expect completion in the fall of 2016. Thank you for your understanding and patience as we move ahead on this exciting new project. Sincerely,
Scott Batulis, President & CEO
