US-based Olathe Medical Centre (OMC) has announced a $100m expansion project in Kansas, in a bid to better cater to its service area needs.

Expansion will include construction of four new centres across its 250-acre campus.

The centres include an obstetrics wing with a Level II neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), a free-standing cancer centre, a memory care neighbourhood at Cedar Lake Village, and an expanded cardiovascular centre.

The projects will cover an area of 200,000ft² and is expected to create 200 new jobs. Construction is slated to start this year.

"The centres include an obstetrics wing with a Level II neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), a free-standing cancer centre, a memory care neighbourhood at Cedar Lake Village, and an expanded cardiovascular centre."

Olathe Medical Centre president Frank Devocelle said in a statement: "We are focused on expanding services to meet our service area needs with emphasis on maintaining a high level of quality care and customer service."

NICU construction is expected to start in April, and will include a four-storey building with 105,000ft² obstetrics. It will also comprise private suite-like rooms with whirlpool tubs and queen-size beds.
