US-based Cleveland Clinic has started construction of a new inpatient hospital, which will be built at the health system’s existing Richard E Jacobs Health Centre in Avon, Ohio.

The five-story facility will involve more than $143m investment, accommodating 126 private hospital rooms, including a small intensive care unit.

Cleveland Clinic CEO Toby Cosgrove was quoted by Crain’s Cleveland Business as saying: "The Cleveland Clinic Avon Hospital is a new kind of hospital for a new era in health care.

"The design reflects everything we’ve learned about 21st century health care, taking our best practices and developing a hospital where we operate more efficiently, reduce duplication and utilize the latest technological advancements for the benefit of our patients."

"The five-story facility will involve more than $143m investment, accommodating 126 private hospital rooms, including a small intensive care unit."

The new inpatient hospital will concentrate on services, including general medicine, general surgery, orthopaedics, urology, ophthalmology and critical care medicine.

The 221,500ft² facility for lower acuity inpatient care is expected to commence operations in 2016.

As part of the project, Cleveland will also renovate 5,500ft² of existing space to expand the centre’s emergency department, radiology, lab, surgery center and pharmacy.

Cleveland-based Westlake Reed designed the project, while Gilbane will build the new inpatient hospital.
