Kennedy Health System is hosting a topping off
ceremony Monday for the first phase of its $200 million renovation of Kennedy University
Hospital-Cherry Hill.
During
the ceremony, which begins at 11 a.m., the final beam on the new atrium lobby
will be put in place.
The
first phase of the project at the Cherry Hill medical center, which opened in
1960, is expected to cost $65 million and be completed next spring.
The
first phase includes the construction of:
a
22,000-square foot atrium lobby that will serve both the hospital and the new
outpatient pavilion, and feature a gift shop, café, and conference rooms;
a
102,000-square foot outpatient pavilion, which will add more ambulatory
services to the campus along with private specialty doctors’ offices; and
an
enclosed, free parking facility that will consolidate existing ground parking,
add an additional 600 covered parking spaces, increase “green space” on the
campus, and improve traffic flow.
The
“medical mall” being created in the outpatient pavilion will house physician
practices plus an ambulatory surgical center, medical imaging and laboratory
services, rehabilitation services, a sleep and balance center, and a hyperbaric
wound center.
The
second phase of the campus revitalization, set to begin in late 2017, will be
the construction of a new acute-care hospital with all private patient rooms.
Kennedy
Health, which also has South Jersey campuses in Stratford and Washington Township
and outpatient facilities throughout Camden and Gloucester counties, is i n the process of joining Jefferson Health.
