Iowa Community Breaks Ground on New Ambulatory Surgery Center
By HCO Staff
NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa—Steindler Orthopedic Clinic, one of Iowa’s largest independent orthopedic practices, officially broke ground on its new clinic and ambulatory surgery center (ASC) on Tuesday, July 25, 2023. Joining Steindler at the groundbreaking were design and construction team members, including representatives from RDG Planning & Design and Miron Construction Co., Inc. The groundbreaking event occurred at the clinic’s new location on Kansas Ave in North Liberty, just north of Forevergreen Road.
“Today’s ceremony marks the beginning of construction and represents the first step in a new journey. It’s the culmination of countless hours of planning and diligence, and we couldn’t be happier to have the project underway finally,” said Patrick Magallanes, JD, MBA, MPA, FACHE, president and CEO of Steindler Orthopedic Clinic.
Estimated to be completed in early 2025, the clinic and ASC are situated on a multi-acre plot of land and oriented toward nearby thoroughfares, allowing for ease of entry and improved visibility into the facility. To reduce redundancy, RDG’s design allows the ASC to function separately from the clinical spaces while leveraging and sharing many back-of-house areas.
“It’s been an honor to work alongside Patrick and the team to develop a vision for this new clinic,” said RDG Architect and Partner, Will Downing, AIA. “We are excited to celebrate this pivotal first step and continue to collaborate on what will ultimately become both a place of healing for patients and a valuable asset to the community.”
