Blue River Surgery Center Wraps in Kansas City
By HCO Staff
KANSAS CITY, Mo.—Hammes, a national real estate consulting, development, investment and management firm, recently completed the Blue River Surgery Center in Kansas City. The new 22,500-square-foot ambulatory surgery center, which is now open to patients, includes five operating rooms and two specialty procedure rooms for orthopedic, gastroenterology and other multi-specialty cases.
The Blue River Surgery Center was developed on behalf of Surgery Ventures, powered by HCA Healthcare, in collaboration with more than 20 physician partners. The facility, located at 1350 East 104th Street, is located in a fast-growing area in south Kansas City and complements HCA’s existing care delivery network in the region.
Hammes is currently developing a second surgery center in the Kansas City area in partnership with Surgery Ventures and physician partners. It is located in the suburb of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, and is expected to open in early 2025.
“It has been rewarding to support Surgery Ventures with the rollout of multiple ambulatory surgery centers throughout the country,” said Justin Shea, Principal of Hammes Partners. “We are excited to see the impact these new surgery centers have in terms of greater access to quality outpatient care in the communities they serve.”
Hammes partnered with ACI Boland Architects and JE Dunn Construction on both the Blue River Surgery Center and the future Lee’s Summit Surgery Center.
