Making room for more doctors
Schneck Medical Center in Seymour, Jackson County, Indiana, plans to spend $44 million in the next couple of years to provide better access to health care.
The need for improving that access by adding 30 doctors and a 5-story building to house them was determined through a process that began with a community needs assessment in 2015, said Debbie Mann, Schneck’s vice president of finance and chief financial officer.
The new facility will be 80,000 square feet and have exam rooms for 45-50 physicians, nurse practitioners and advanced service providers and a parking garage that will hold nearly 400 vehicles.
Mann said with the multi-year, multi-phase project, Schneck is looking at a 5-year recruiting plan.
