Mayo announces $70 million expansion projects
MANKATO — Mayo Clinic Health System in Mankato will move forward on $70 million worth of expansions to its hospital campus this year.
The investment will cover two projects, $65 million for a hospital surgical suite expansion and a new gastrointestinal endoscopy center on the hospital’s second floor, and $5 million for an expansion and renovation of the orthopedic and sports medicine clinic on the first floor.
Construction on the surgical suite portion of the project will begin by the end of this year in anticipation of a late 2018 completion. The orthopedic and sports medicine clinic should start earlier and be completed in the first quarter of 2018.
The expansions are part of the clinic’s continuing mission to become a medical hub in the region, said Dr. James Hebl, vice president of Mayo Clinic Health System in Southwest Minnesota.
