Doctors Hospital of Manteca (Calif.) is building a two-story, 40,000-square-foot medical office building for $13.3 million adjacent to its main hospital, the Manteca/Ripon Bulletin reports.
What you should know:
1. The hospital plans to break ground on the building June 24.
2. Doctors Hospital is an affiliate of Dallas-based Tenet Healthcare. Tenet is building the medical office building as an investment in the Manteca community.
3. Doctors Hospital opened a 6,000-square-foot outpatient surgery center in Manteca three years ago.
Doctors Hospital Chief Strategy Officer Preston Clark said: "This project is five years in the making and will provide more medical office building space for recruitment of physicians, as we are currently experiencing a shortage in the area. This new building will also help provide additional services for our community members, keeping them close to home for care."
