Construction Begins on Iain Mackenzie Medical Plaza and New Surgery Center
Destination Health Care Location and State-of-the-Art Ambulatory Surgery
Facility Will Bring New Services to York
YORK, Pa., Dec. 17, 2008 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) -- Congero Development, LLC,
announced today the start of construction on the Iain Mackenzie Medical Plaza,
a new destination health care campus in York, Penn. The 7.3 acre project will
include Brookeside Surgical Arts at York, a state-of-the-art Medicare
certified and Joint Commission accredited Ambulatory Surgery Facility.
Located at 2050 South Queen Street at the former Blazenet site, the Iain
Mackenzie Medical Plaza will include three medical buildings, the first of
which houses 8,100 square feet of medical office space plus an additional
16,500 square feet for the Ambulatory Surgery Facility. The plaza is intended
to bring together existing and needed services in one convenient location for
residents. The namesake of the project, Dr. Iain Mackenzie, is a long-time
area physician and was one of the first gastroenterologists in the area. Now
retired, he founded Digestive Disease Center which is among the first
committed tenants at the new medical plaza.
Brookeside Surgical Arts at York is being developed in partnership with local
surgeons as an innovative, multi-specialty surgical facility. Brookeside will
be housed in the first medical building on the property and includes six
operating rooms with private recovery and step down areas. Designed by award
winning medical architecture firm Antony C. Pings and Associates, Brookeside
will bring together functional aesthetics with the most sophisticated surgical
and infection control technologies available.
"We are pleased that construction has begun and, together with our partners,
we are building a surgical campus to suit the emerging needs of both the
community's patients and physicians," said Bruce Wallace, CEO of C
